Our Story
The Do Good Daniels Family Foundation sparked to life following a transformative moment on The Ellen Show, where a generous gift of $1 million—half of which was dedicated to paying it forward—ignited our mission to make a meaningful difference. This defining moment was chronicled in the digital series 'Do Good Daniels,' showcasing our commitment to positive change.
Initially, our mission aimed to inspire young people and their families to contribute positively to their communities. Yet, as we engaged more deeply, it became clear that many did not have their basic needs met or the stability required to #DOGOOD. We learned that true empowerment requires foundational support—by stabilizing and supporting the individuals we work with, they are better positioned to thrive and contribute to the community.
We believe that for youth to flourish and truly #DoGood, the systems and people around them must also be supported. It takes a whole village, and we are committed to being that village, ensuring that every young person has the opportunity to succeed and make a difference.
Empowering youth and their families to #DOGOOD by providing them with targeted care management services, housing support, mentorship, and life skills education— giving them the tools to unleash their full potential and thrive.
A future where every young person and their families, regardless of socio-economic background, are empowered to thrive, lead, and make a positive impact in their communities. We envision a society that actively supports and nurtures the potential of all its members, creating environments where families and youth can succeed and #DOGOOD together.
