Newman's Own Foundation, founded by the late actor and philanthropist Paul Newman, announced today the launch of CommonGood.com — a new web platform dedicated to sharing uplifting stories to highlight the good works of people, communities, and organizations from around the world.

"With the fast-paced news cycle these days, we are inundated with world and local events, and it's easy to miss out on all of the truly meaningful work being done in the charitable sector," said Bob Forrester, President and CEO of Newman's Own Foundation. "The Common Good website is aimed at filling a void of coverage about the philanthropic world by highlighting stories about people and organizations that are improving lives and making a positive impact on our world."

CommonGood.com is designed to make it easy for users to find meaningful stories and connect directly with philanthropic organizations. The site will feature up-to-date news and events on the charitable front and allow users the opportunity to learn about and connect directly with the people, organizations, and causes that are making a positive difference around the globe.

Newman's Own Foundation has underwritten the development of the Common Good website for the purpose of promoting and encouraging philanthropy. In developing the concept for the Common Good website, Newman's Own Foundation selected Narrative Content Group as its publishing partner, based on their expertise in creating and distributing content. Narrative will handle the day-to-day operations of content gathering, technology, and development, and outreach to organizations for stories.

"Working with Newman's Own has always been an honor for us," said Narrative CEO Joel Babbit. "Being able to help develop something with the mission and potential of Common Good is particularly rewarding."

Some of the stories featured on the site include the following:

Sowing the seeds of climate action
Why we must preserve the natural legacy of the Western Everglades
The investment every rural community should make
How food can be a vehicle for social change
