Driven by Mission
At Good Man Brand, we believe in the power of giving back. Since our inception, we’ve woven social responsibility into the very fabric of our business. Our mission goes beyond creating stylish, high-quality apparel and footwear; we are committed to making a lasting impact on the communities we serve. That's why 3% of every purchase* you make with us, after product cost, is donated to the Why Not You Foundation (WNYF), helping support youth who need us most across the country.
The Why Not You Foundation
Founded by Ciara & Russell Wilson, the Why Not You Foundation is dedicated to empowering and inspiring today’s youth to lead with a "Why Not You" attitude. Through impactful partnerships with local and national nonprofit organizations, WNYF focuses on education and health initiatives that fight against generational poverty.
At Good Man Brand, we align ourselves with this mission, ensuring that every product sold helps support WNYF’s vision for a brighter, more equitable future. By purchasing from our collections, you are contributing to impactful programs that are changing the lives of young Americans. In 2024, WNYF in partnership with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh School District supported 3,000 young people on their return to school with backpacks and hygiene kits.
Our Commitment: 3% of Net Profits* to WNYF
Since the beginning, Good Man Brand has committed to donating 3% of net profits (*after product cost) to the Why Not You Foundation, over 10x the industry average. This means that with every purchase—whether it’s a pair of our bestselling sneakers or a versatile flannel shirt—you’re contributing directly to helping young people have a brighter future.
We believe that businesses have a responsibility to give back and serve the community at large. Through our collaboration with Why Not You Foundation, we’re turning everyday fashion choices into opportunities for empowerment, offering our customers a way to look good, feel good, and do good, all at the same time.
