Our Work
Where Strategy Becomes Impact
At Do Good, we don’t lead with ego—we lead with alignment. Our role is to support public servants, civic leaders, and community builders by offering clear thinking, strong execution, and trusted partnership. From affordable housing to energy policy, from rural economies to urban revitalization, we help turn good intentions into measurable outcomes.
We’ve supported policy entrepreneurship at every level—helping launch new public-private models like the Utah Impact Partnership, preserving housing through creative capital stacks, and advising leaders on issues from higher education to mental health. Our team has built coalitions around infrastructure and land use, helped foundations track long-term impact, and guided family enterprises through philanthropic transitions.
What ties it all together is quiet excellence in execution. We operate behind the scenes to align strategy, capital, and communications—making it easier for leaders to focus on what matters most: delivering for their communities
