Together for Good
Empathy in Action
“Guided by empathy and purpose, Together for Good creates hope, opportunity and lasting impact by empowering effective people and programs.”




Who We Are
A family that acts together
Together for Good is the Salka family’s philanthropic initiative — not a corporate foundation, but a family that grows closer through shared purpose. From installing wood-burning stoves in rural Guatemala to mentoring children in Brunswick, Maine, every generation finds its own way to lead with empathy.
