Greater Good Charities

Greater Good Charities provides shelter renovations, coaching support, and educational workshops through its Rescue Rebuild program. Recruiting volunteers from all over the country, our team travels to selected shelters to take projects from concept to creation to improve the lives of people, pets, and wildlife. We work within animal shelters, wildlife facilities, domestic violence shelters, and homeless and veterans housing.

Greater Good Charities seeks to improve the lives of cats and help the people who care for them through The Jackson Galaxy Project, a program of innovative initiatives that educate, inspire, and empower staff, rescuers, and adopters.

Cat Pawsitive 360, an initiative of Greater Good Charities Jackson Galaxy Project, is a 360-degree view of the feline experience on everything from behavioral models to environmental enrichment so that more lives will be saved, and the well-being of cats will be improved both in and out of the shelter.

Greater Good Charities is dedicated to exploring, studying, and protecting biodiversity hotspots through its Global Discovery Expeditions, providing a crucial initial step in conservation - the observation and recording of living species within an ecosystem. Global Discovery is a natural expansion of our Madrean Discovery Expeditions, which have been studying a series of unique ecosystems ranging from New Mexico and Arizona to Mexico for 10 years.

When it comes to natural or human-made disasters, Greater Good Charities is There When It Matters. Whether working with communities to prepare or helping victims of hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, floods, or conflict, we provide on the ground assistance and fund partners to maximize impact and relief for the affected people and pets.

Greater Good Charities provides funding for pets in need of medical intervention via its Emergency Animal Medical grants.

Greater Good Charities provides survival and comfort supplies to those in times of crisis via its Good Packs. Recipients include people experiencing homelessness or who are imminently homeless, including DPs (displaced persons) and IDPs (internally displaced persons), military veterans, and victims of domestic violence and natural disasters.

Greater Good Charities conducts life-saving airlifts and supports ground transport for some of the country's most at-risk pet populations, including asymptomatic heartworm-positive dogs, homeless cats, and harder to place large dogs. Our Good Flights program also helps clear space in shelters and evacuate pets in times of disaster.

Greater Good Charities deploys specially trained high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter (HQHVSN) surgical teams and professional trapping teams to help control pet overpopulation in communities that need it most, free of charge, through its Good Fix program. The program also provides vaccination services to owned and community pets, educates community members on the importance of spay/neuter and TNR (trap, neuter, return), and coordinates education opportunities with local shelters. Ultimately, Good Fix reduces human-animal conflict, reduces shelter intake, and relieves the burden on animal shelters to euthanize unwanted pets.
