The Jackson Galaxy Project, founded in 2014, is a Signature Program of Greater Good Charities, a public 501c3 nonprofit organization. The Project is the realization of Jackson’s long-standing dream of improving the lives of animals at risk and helping the people who care for them.
Jackson Galaxy found his way into animal welfare the way that most people do: part chance, part fate, part destiny. During his journey from entry-level shelter worker to America’s Cat Daddy, Jackson questioned, observed and learned. He saw what worked, what wasn’t working, and created new solutions. He developed a vision to help animals through innovation and collaboration. Today, that vision is becoming a reality through The Jackson Galaxy Project.
The Project:
- focuses on programs that drive innovation
- promotes improved shelter design and construction
- provides “Elevation through Education”: increased knowledge that inspires and empowers staff, rescuers and adopters to continually raise the bar for animals at risk
Jackson helps guide the Projects’s vision as a member of the Greater Good Charities Board.
