What inspired you to start the fundraising campaign?

After parting ways with our production partner, 716Live, we decided to bring the production of our show in-house due to changes in their business dynamics. However, we faced a significant challenge in terms of equipment. Although our team is well-qualified to operate it, our presenting sponsor's monthly pledge falls short of covering the required amount.

After completing "Good Deeds Buffalo," I committed to returning to TV under one condition: resolving major stressors related to securing a production facility or sponsor. These aspects are often the most challenging in any production, especially for a community-impact show like ours. To overcome this hurdle, I believed it was worth seeking support from the community to cover the substantial new upfront costs.

My friend Erik Huberman, a successful figure in the marketing world, suggested the idea of starting a Kickstarter campaign. Although we didn't meet our goal with that platform, supporters urged us to start another fundraising campaign. Considering his advice and input from others, I recognized the show's potential impact and decided to act. While acknowledging the larger issues at play, sometimes we can only influence so much individually. This show, however, has the potential to make a difference on a larger scale, as demonstrated by the impact of "Good Deeds Buffalo" through the 29 episodes we filmed.

Rewards timeframe: they are slated to be credited or made redeemable approximately 1-2 weeks after your donation unless otherwise specified. If you meet the criteria for a Good Deeds America T-shirt or other items, you will be issued a coupon code for use on our website. For other items, we will reach out to coordinate delivery. If you haven't received an email within two weeks after your donation and for any reward-related inquiries, please contact help@gooddeedsamerica.tv.

Can I donate anonymously?
