Company Summary

Public Good works to change moments of inspiration into inspiring action. Online news, social media feeds, and mobile connectivity exponentially increase awareness of problems but leave people feeling frustrated and unable to make a difference.

Public Good solves that problem by building bridges from content to actions that support the 1.1mm nonprofits working on solutions. Our technology is now being adopted by top media companies nationwide.
