Tag Meir (“Light Tag”) — a Good People Fund grantee — was founded in 2011 by Gadi Gvaryahu to counter racism in Israel, and has grown to lead a coalition of more than 50 organizations across political, religious and cultural spheres to mobilize voices for coexistence, support victims of hate crimes, and more. Since October 7, the work of Tag Meir is especially crucial as tensions rise in the country and region. “We don’t have the privilege to give up,” says Gadi, in this timely conversation with GPF Executive Director Naomi Eisenberger.

Come November, at The Good People Fund’s (un)conference in New York, singer-songwriter John Beltzer will bring us into his unique zone of good … leading attendees as we give our voices to a song personalized for a child facing a serious medical challenge.

Since 1996, John’s Songs of Love Foundation has touched the lives of tens of thousands of children and teens in this way. By crafting free, original and customized songs for them — written and recorded by a network of talented singer–songwriters — the Foundation is providing solace, relief and escape, and expanding a community of care and compassion.

In this episode of Good People Talk, John speaks with GPF Executive Director Naomi Eisenberger about the vision, the growth, and the impact … and what he has planned when he presents at GPF’s (un)conference this fall.

For homeless kids on the streets of Detroit, Courtney Smith’s Detroit Phoenix Center is a warm, welcoming shelter where youth can shower, study and get some nourishment.

From time to time our contacts at NOLA Children’s Hospital call upon us for a very special need and Kyle’s case was one. Five-year-old Kyle had spent over a year in the hospital while doctors tried unsuccessfully to cure his leukemia. His mom, a single parent, was with him every step of the way and unable to work while Kyle was in treatment. With limited funds available a proper burial was not possible. It was an honor for The Good People Fund to help make that possible for both Kyle and his Mom.
