The Devou Good Foundation is a private operating foundation established with the intention of cultivating vibrant communities out of transitional neighborhoods.

DGF will build relationships with those in the community working to bring positive change. Initially, members of the DGF will collaborate with other nonprofits and members of the community to assess their needs. Once they have been identified, DGF will continue to work with the groups to achieve goals and establish partnerships to strengthen future projects.

DGF will not only provide staffing and resources for event planning and fundraising, but also present opportunities for local visionaries to work together toward a common goal. By establishing this joint effort, visions and ideas that may have been limited due to lack of resources and exposure can be realized. Relationships between agencies within a community can be cultivated, strengthening the positive voice and fostering change.

The founding members of DGF are skilled professionals with diverse backgrounds and expertise. Collectively they bring skills and experience from public relations, marketing, the arts, business/entrepreneurism and education fields. This diversified skill set will be a valuable resource to the agencies they assist.
