Our Story
We are committed to uplifting individuals and communities through meaningful support and value-aligned action.
With focused dedication to reducing suffering wherever we find it, our commitment to service is unbounded, especially among those who systems too often leave behind.
Our Mission
The Do Good Foundation, 501c3, was created in the Fall of 2019 with the simple intention of doing good in Southern Oregon, specifically Josephine County.
The Foundation focuses on community initiatives that strive to build and increase the health and
well-being of individuals, groups, and communities, regardless of gender, race, economic status,
orientation, or age.
The Foundation has historically piloted cutting-edge programs dedicated to cultivating well-being through educational opportunities, gatherings, outings, and
enrichment activities.
As The Foundation evolves, our mission is expanding to reduce suffering and enrich lives. Through community connection, one-on-one support, and system-level research, in partnership with local organizations, we aim to lift up historically underserved populations and individuals facing the greatest systemic barriers.
The Foundation now serves communities in both Oregon and Hawaii.

Our Vision
We envision communities where safety and stability belong to everyone: families raising children, children growing and learning, neighbors experiencing crisis, and the residents who keep our communities running strong. We believe lasting solutions aren't built for one group at the expense of another; they're built together. By listening to every voice, including those most affected by what happens in our shared spaces, and designing programs rooted in collaboration, we work toward building communities where support flows in every direction.
Meet Dr. Sierra Dawn.
Dr. Sierra co-founded The Do Good Foundation in 2019 with the intention of creating a community center in her rural hometown of Grants Pass. Since then, with the support of TDGF board and community members, Dr. Sierra has orchestrated an array of community programs to support individuals of all ages and backgrounds, from youth and families to, increasingly, our community's most disadvantaged and disconnected neighbors.
As Chief Visionary Officer and Clinical Director, Dr. Sierra brings a psychologically-informed lens to the projects and programs created under The Do Good Foundation.
Drawing on her clinical psychology background, which includes relational, health, trauma, socio-cultural, environmental, systems, behavioral, and integrative psychologies, her consultation aids in designing community programs that address gaps to meet real needs.
In this role, Dr. Sierra brings life-enhancing support services and the highest quality care to the members of her communities.
