What We Do

Double Good is a company built on creating joy and helping others. By reimagining product-based virtual fundraising, we help expand organizations' missions by giving back 50% of every dollar sold.

We make ultra-premium popcorn sold through our simple-to-use software. We've helped raise over $200 million to support organizations nationwide that tilt the playing field for all kids. Double Good is not a popcorn company nor a digital company. It is a team of makers, designers, and problem-solvers dedicated to simplifying fundraising challenges and enabling communities to thrive.

The soul of Double Good lies in the mission of creating and sharing joy. We built our fundraising platform on the idea that connecting with supporters should be simple, approachable, and effective. The funds raised go on to relieve the high costs of education, extra-curricular activities, community engagement, and athletic development. We partner with purposeful organizations to benefit students and athletes facing physical, intellectual, and financial challenges. Our goal is to amplify marginalized voices and push the boundaries of access to academic and athletic activities by contributing experiences, equipment, and educational opportunities to the communities that crave them the most.

Why Work With Us

Double Good strives to create joy for both its customers and employees. We strive to have employees feel supported and like they can grow in the company through professional development, coaching, volunteering, and more. Double Good employees deliver excellence, own it, build relationships, and enjoy the ride.
