2016-17 DGT™ Annual Report 

This past year, Doing Good Together had the privilege of creating many new innovative tools,
projects and materials to empower families to raise children who care and contribute. This
report highlights some of these unique programs and resources that allowed us to expand our
impact. Thanks to you, we are changing lives -- both now as families meet critical community
needs -- and for the future as we help grow the next generation of compassionate, generous,
engaged adults.

Thank you, Donors, Volunteers, and DGT™ Board Members

Thank you Donors, Volunteers, and Board Members: We couldn’t be more grateful to all those  who have made this a year of significant growth and impact for DGT. Because of all of you, more families will have the inspiration and tools they need to make kindness and giving a significant part of their children’s early life lessons.

Partnerships

DGT is proud of the organizations that have asked us to collaborate, both here in the Twin Cities and around the country. This past year we have worked with the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Making Caring Common program, Bright Horizons, Thrivent Financial, Miami-Dade Public Schools, Kinderberry Hill Child Development Centers, The Goddard School, the Iowa Commission on Service, Minnesota Boychoir, Willis Foundation, Twin Cities-based Goddard Schools, and more. It’s been a great privilege to work alongside these partners, and we look forward to further collaboration in the year ahead.

Trending Topics

This past year, DGT has addressed variety of tough topics, such as Death and Grief, to provide families the tools they need to have conversations with their children about challenging issues. In addition, we’ve created unique activities to engage families in kindness (Design and Share Tear-Off Posters, Car Window Poetry), innovative reflection resources (“Little Lessons for Big-Hearted Families.”), and new book recommendations on a variety of big-hearted topics, such winter holidays, poetry, death & grief, and citizen science.
