Be a part of the vision for a gender-equal world.
We are committed to continue working toward gender equality and empower and uplift women and gender-diverse people, especially those in underserved and marginalized communities.
GOOD TO BE GOOD is a grassroots, entity-sustaining, community and women-led nonprofit. Therefore, our work is fuelled by acts of solidarity and support. We establish ethical and sustainable funding and partnerships, ensuring our work is maintained for the communities we serve and care deeply about.
Contributions help maintain access to our programs and services for women and gender-diverse people in our priority communities. They also help to expand projects and advocacy work, and resource community-building initiatives.
We don’t do this work alone and rely on the power of collective action and compassion. Everyday people sustain our mission by partnering, donating, assisting, or volunteering with us to strengthen and sustain our efforts.
Support our work to reach and meet the unique and critical needs and hopes of the women, gender-diverse people and communities we serve.

WAYS TO FURTHER COLLECTIVE ACTION
To achieve the structural change we need, it’s essential to think creatively and take innovative actions incrementally rather than trying to do everything at once. So, think outside the box and take each new initiative as a step toward making a big difference.
– Champion women’s empowerment and talk about their rights.
– Read, write, organize, convene, build bridges through connections and dialogue. Understanding the issues is key for making informed action.
– Reach out to your elected officials to voice your concerns about access to equity and justice policies and practices that affect women and gender-diverse people’s lives.
– Talk about gender equity, women’s empowerment and rights as a matter of equality with those around you.
– Join non-violent movement protests and marches lead by women leaders and groups.
– Support campaigns like the United Nations Unite Campaign to support women and girls made vulnerable around the world.
– Engage men and boys in the fight to end violence against women and girls.
– Governments and formal institutions can make a difference for women and girls impacted by in justices by increasing funding for women’s rights organizations and investing in lifesaving programs and groups.
