In 2013, GSK and Save the Children launched the first Healthcare Innovation Award to identify and reward innovations that have proven successful in reducing child deaths in developing countries. Living Goods was honored to be recognized with this award in 2015.

Living Goods and Last Mile Health were recognized with inaugural honorees of the Audacious Project, a collaborative approach to funding ideas with the potential to create change at thrilling scale. Together, Living Goods and Last Mile Health will provide lifesaving healthcare to 34 million people across six countries in East and West Africa by 2021 by deploying 50,000 digitally-empowered community health workers (CHWs).

In 2020, Living Goods was added to The Million Lives Club, which celebrates entrepreneurs and innovators measurably impacting and improving the lives of those living on less than $5 a day.

The Trinity Challenge (TTC) is a coalition of 42 organisations from the private, public, philanthropic and academic sectors, working towards protecting the world from future pandemics, by using data, analytics and digital tools. TTC was launched in September 2020, as part of global efforts to protect one billion people from health emergencies. TTC invited applications from across the world to develop and scale non-medical interventions, in areas such as data science, behavioural science, and economics, which have been areas often overlooked by current COVID-19 interventions.

Founded in 2001, Charity Navigator has become the nation’s largest and most-utilized evaluator of charities.

Excellence in Giving recognizes Transparency when charities share more data about governance, finances, strategy, and impact than the IRS requires. Each recognized charity has submitted 175 data points about operations and performance for donors to review before making an informed giving decision. Transparency seal recipients voluntarily disclose debt levels, Board practices, 3-year program and financial trends, impact stats, strategic plans, and even an internal S.W.O.T. analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats).
