Why Massive Good exists
by John Andrew Entwistle
We believe help should fit
the person, not the program.
Individualized charity, case by case.
We believe the future of charity is individualized. Help should be specific, verified, and designed around a person’s actual moment — not an initiative, not a statistic, and not a worldview imposed on someone in crisis.
People share what is happening through a structured conversation. Technology organizes the details into a clear case: what happened, what is needed, what it costs, what change it can create, and what risks to watch for.
A human caseworker evaluates every case with judgment and care. When we believe we can truly help, we verify the need, architect the highest-ROI solution, and get our hands dirty implementing it.
Case by case, we believe we can accomplish massive good.
Technology in service of human judgment
John Andrew Entwistle (b. 1997, New York) is a serial entrepreneur who has helped create over $1B of enterprise value, founding Coder.com at 17, Wander.com at 23, and Adapt.com at 27.
He founded Massive Good to serve his life’s ultimate purpose: the relentless pursuit of doing massive good.
Technology organizes intake, documents, verification, providers, payments, and outcomes into one clear case. It gives the team more time to investigate, solve, and act.
Software does not decide who receives help. People do — and those people are responsible for following the case all the way through to a real result.
Every case is different.Our principles stay the same.
We look for the highest return.
The one action most likely to remove the barrier and keep life moving forward.
A person verifies every case.
A caseworker talks to the people involved, checks the facts, and owns the decision.
We do the work ourselves.
We make the calls, coordinate the providers, and follow through until it’s done.
Technology supports the casework.
Software keeps every case in order. People stay responsible for the judgment.

Have questions?Feel free to ask before you give.
Will my gift actually reach someone?
Yes. Your gift supports Massive Good’s charitable work as a whole: caseworkers review each request, verify the need, and coordinate the solution. It goes to the work rather than to one specific story.
How do I know how donations were used?
For every completed case we document the solution, how it was carried out, the direct payments, and the itemized costs. Our Tax & Financials page explains how we hold ourselves to account, along with our nonprofit reporting.
Do you ever hand out cash?
No. We pay approved providers directly: landlords, mechanics, medical suppliers, vendors, and others. That leaves a clear record of where every dollar went, and little room for misuse.
Can I choose who receives my gift?
No. Gifts support our charitable work as a whole, so the team can respond wherever help can be responsibly given.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Massive Good is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. EIN: 42-3879924.
Can I give monthly?
Yes. Monthly support lets us plan steady charitable work throughout the year.
How much of my gift reaches people in need?
Gifts make the work possible—both the direct help and the careful process of verifying needs, coordinating solutions, and following through. We share financial reports and real outcomes on our Tax & Financials page so you can see exactly how your support is used.
