We did it! Truly honored and humbled that HelpGood made Inc. Magazine's 2024 Inc. 5000 list. We are number 1,988 in the nation and 105 in the Pacific region. The list measures growth from 2020 to 2023 -- the thick of the pandemic and a truly tumultuous time. It's a testament to our clients, more than 80% of whom we're still working with 4 years later. It's a testament to our team, that more than doubled in size. And it's a testament to our mission, that you can focus on social impact and still thrive. Thanks to all of our stakeholders who helped make this happen for HelpGood. https://www.inc.com/profile/helpgood

After two years of virtual sweat and hard work, we finally got to meet all these inspiring change makers in person last week. Great to connect and continue this work with all these folks focused on strengthening our democracy and advancing the common good. Posted • For the past two years we have had the privilege to work with 10 grassroots, front line, voting rights nonprofits on public speaking. We started on zoom and just finished our final gathering IN PERSON.

The Fearless Team worked with the organizations on crafting a VICTORY STORY that was then presented and recorded in a final showcase. From meddling qu**rs feeding communities in the rural south to Native American leaders being elected to office, to creating opportunities for black immigrant and African American communities to heal and unite together, we sat in awe of their individual and collective power.

Thank you to , , and for bringing these organization together and your vision over the past two years. Thank you to our fellow facilitators and .

And finally THANK YOU to the amazing organizations! The great work continues …

10 years ago a simple tweet launched us on crazy adventure. We got a crash course in community organizing when we turned from a silly idea to something the called the friendliest rally to ever come to the . The March on Washington attracted thousands of marchers (some crawling and some on strings) to Washington to show support for continued public funding of . And it worked, because to this day, the funding has continued!!

MLK Day has evolved into a day to channel energy into acts of service. One of the biggest acts of service you can give to others, and to yourself, is forgiveness. It's powerful and freeing. Who can you forgive today?

"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

Today at Mission:JOY we are celebrating the message of love, nonviolence, and forgiveness that Dr. Martin Luther King and The Archbishop Desmond Tutu shared. In fact, Desmond Tutu was honored at the very first MLK Day in 1986 with the Martin Luther King Jr Peace Prize. READ MORE: https://bit.ly/3tzAqYe

Black Lives Matter. HelpGood is proud to have Los Angeles Christian Health Centers as a client. LACHC is on the front lines of the COVID-19 health crisis⁠—providing quality, loving, and comprehensive health care to thousands of under-served Angelinos each year.

This past week has been a week of so much mourning. We mourned passing 100,000 deaths in our Country due to Covid-19. And then we mourned as we witnessed the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the police in Minneapolis. We mourn the delay of his killers’ arrests. We mourn because we know that racism and violence against black people and other people of color is nothing new. We mourn because we see what feels like no end in sight to the injustice, hatred and oppression around us. Let us mourn and pray in solidarity with each other. And let us never stop working for justice.
