Overview

Mission

The Good Deed Project (TGDP) is a sustainability-focused, volunteer-based organization that provides life-transformative, healthy and safe living environments through home rehabilitation, renovations and repairs for children, families, seniors, veterans, special needs individuals and those living in circumstances beyond their control that affect their health and well-being and prevent them from thriving mentally and physically. Our organization also pivoted to offer services in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic to address emergency needs by donating and delivering furniture and holiday meals to those in transition from or in danger of homelessness.

What it reported doing in 2023

Building Hope: Our signature program, Building Hope, provides relief to homeowners who fall short of qualifying for bridge programs or don't have the skills or finances to tackle their own emergency home repairs, aging/handicap accessibility retrofits or major interior/exterior maintenance issues. The program assists individuals and families through major home renovations and small emergency home repairs, including electrical and plumbing issues.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
