Good Fund  was founded in February 2009 by current CEO, Andy Posner, while he was completing his Master of Arts in Environmental Studies at Brown University. After reading Banker to the Poor by Dr. Muhammad Yunus, Posner realized that legitimate financial services could help bring about true change and start the process of unraveling the cycle of poverty, which still plagues many communities.
