Our Story
GoodMatch began with the idea that we can elevate our communities, inspire our peers, and improve the global condition if we only knew where to give. GoodMatch strives to amplify community-focused and community-led organizations that support the most vulnerable members of our communities by taking the guesswork out of giving.
Let’s help you find a GoodMatch- because; together, we can make a difference.
