Your 2025 Impact: A Year of Measurable Good

In 2025, your support made a meaningful difference, reaching across borders to respond to crises around the world and here at home, and helping people, animals, and the environment in tangible, measurable ways. We listened, adapted, and responded together. 

Thanks to your generosity, communities in need received not just immediate aid but long-term support. And while the impact is felt in individual lives, it’s also reflected in the scale of what we accomplished together. 

Here’s a look at what your support made possible: 

90 Million Meals for People and Pets 

Together, we provided much-needed nutrition to families in crisis: meals for food-insecure families (like those affected by disruptions to SNAP benefits at the end of the year) and those impacted by disaster and crisis, nutrition for pets in shelters, and pet food for owned pets whose families can’t afford it.  

Over 300,000 Disaster Victims Helped with Over $16 Million in Aid 

When it came to natural disasters, we were poised to mobilize with greater efficiency and efficacy than ever. In response to wildfires in Los Angeles, Oklahoma, and Greece; flooding in Kentucky and Texas; the 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar; Hurricane Melissa, and more, our pre-established disaster caches and partnerships allowed us to place aid exactly where and when it was most needed.  

From over 300 tons of critical aid for pets and people (including food, water, diapers, hygiene supplies and more), to tens of thousands of Emergency Packs full of essential supplies, to beekeeping support helping to sustain over 2 billion bees, we provided a lifeline to those in need in the immediate wake of disaster, while extending long-term support into communities with the long road of recovery ahead. 

In Ukraine alone, where Greater Good Charities has been on the ground providing aid since the war began, the work continued. Along with millions of meals for people and animals, we provided warmth and protection during the third brutal winter of the war by funding the installation of 5,000 shatterproof, insulated windows in homes and buildings near the frontlines, distributing millions of medical items, food boxes, and blankets, and keeping families warm and safe through the winter. 

150,000 Acres of Critical Habitat Permanently Protected 

The tragic loss of biodiversity globally due to human impacts and a changing climate is a crisis that needs immediate action. This year, we helped preserve one of the highest priority areas of the Northern Patagonian Steppe in Argentina: home to the critically endangered Andean cat, the threatened Andean condor, and the world’s largest remaining migrating population of guanaco. Your support helped permanently save over 150,000 connected acres of land, incorporating it into La Payunia reserve.  

We also provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding to protect threatened and endangered wildlife, preserve meadows and grasslands in the U.S., and create wildlife and pollinator corridors. We conducted 3 global field studies to record hundreds of new plant and animal records to help set conservation priorities, adding to our collection of over 200,000 biodiversity records.  

Thousands of Animals Given Second Chances 

Not every crisis inflicts the immediate devastation of a natural disaster or the more distant threat of environmental collapse. A crisis can look like anything from pet overpopulation in a community to a paucity of resources in both human and animal service organizations. Greater Good Charities responds to these daily crises by listening first, then working with communities to cocreate lasing solutions. 

In 2025, we provided transport for over 3,500 shelter pets, plus veterinary care, including spay/neuter, vaccinations, and emergency medical for over 9,200 owned and community pets, easing the burden on strained shelters and allowing them to better allocate their resources. Our construction team completed 10 pet-friendly renovation projects of animal shelters, homeless shelters, and domestic violence shelters, allowing more families to stay together. Work like this creates lasting impact both for the domestic violence survivor or unhoused person who can now seek shelter, and the communities of which they’re a part. 

Looking Ahead: A Continuum of Good in 2026 

Thank you for helping us amplify the good for another year. As we look ahead to 2026 in a world shaped by disruption, skepticism, and fatigue, we’re focused on one thing we know for sure: GOOD still works. Through 20 years of consistent on-the-ground impact, you've helped us prove that it doesn’t disappear in hard times—it shows up, adds up, and keeps going. 

And so will we. With plans already in the works to expand, enhance, and deepen our capabilities, our partnerships, and, most importantly, our relationship with you, our passionate community, we’ll keep turning generosity into measurable, lasting good. Don’t miss a moment! 

Your support inspires and fuels our work—if you’re inspired, start 2026 with a donation to support this continuum of good.
