About The Do Good Fund: The Do Good Fund, Inc. is a Columbus, GA based public charity. Since its founding in 2012, the fund has focused on building a museum-quality collection of photographs taken in the American South since World War II. The collection ranges from works by more than twenty Guggenheim Fellows to images by lesser known and emerging photographers working in the region.

Do Good’s mission is to make its collection of more than 800 images broadly accessible through regional museums, nonprofit galleries, and nontraditional venues and to encourage complementary, community-based programming to accompany each exhibition.

Our exhibitions programming is made possible with investment by the City of Savannah.

This program is sponsored in part by Georgia Council for the Arts through the appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly. Georgia Council for the Arts also receives support from its partner agency - the National Endowment for the Arts. Special thanks to our local Exhibitions Sponsors: Gulfstream Aerospace, Starlandia Supply, and our First Friday Reception Sponsors: Marilyn Brady & Dave Henry
