About Us
DailyGood is a free, daily email service that delivers a little bit of good news to thousands of people all over the world. It is a fully volunteer-run project of CharityFocus.
Watching the nightly news and reading the daily newspapers, it's hard to imagine that there is good in the world. But it's often right under our noses in the ordinary, small and simple things that have sustained life for ages. DailyGood, then, aims to promote that good, change the nature of our conversations and spread a few more smiles.
The project started many years when one college student started emailing a daily quote to a couple of his friends. Today, that list is called DailyGood but it now reaches more than 50,000 readers with a wide variety of uplifting stories. The growth of the project has been, and continues to be, organic and largely word of mouth.
Our philosophy is quite simple: be the change. The entire project is run by volunteers. All our content is distributed and syndicated for free. We don't sell advertising or promote any products. We don't ask for anything with the trust whatever is needed will come to us. And in the end, we are thankful that so many benefit from DailyGood because it gives us a meaningful opportunity to serve.
Thank you for your partnership in spreading the good.
Some frequently asked questions:
Who runs Quote-a-Day?
A rotating team of five people manages this project. Viral, Pavi, Sara, Sri and James are the current five editors. They are actual, real people so if you write to them, they'll certainly write back.
Can I republish the content here?
Absolutely. We syndicate for precisely that reason.
Doesn't it cost money to run this?
Yes, and our budget is online. In our experience, though, resources have found a way to match the needs without our intervention ... so we haven't had to ask for anything, to date.
How can I help?
Start by suggesting good news stories. Tell a friend about DailyGood. To volunteer, register with CharityFocus and drop us note.
Do you have something in print?
We are putting together a "best of" quote-a-day series, which will be available in printable format soon! We also plan to donate these books at community centers, hospices, dentist offices, you name it.
What are your future plans?
Until now, we have been crawling the web for good news. In the near future, we hope to start contributing articles to that pool of good. We'd love to hear from interested journalists!
The destiny of the world is determined less by the battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in. --Harold Goddard
There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories. --Ursula K. LeGuin
It is not the voice that commands the story: it is the ear. --Italo Calvino
Inspiration is not only a matter of being 'pumped up'. It is, at its core, a deep communion with one's love for humanity and life itself.
It takes a thousand voices to tell a single story.
