Good+Foundation, a nonprofit founded by Jessica Seinfeld in 2001 that “works to dismantle multi-generational poverty by pairing tangible goods with innovative services for low-income fathers, mothers and caregivers, creating an upward trajectory for the whole family,” has signed a five-year lease for 10,250 square feet at 307 West 36th St. in Manhattan’s Garment District, announced GFP Real Estate LLC.
With warehouses in New York City and Los Angeles, Good+Foundation’s principal goal is to “incentivize parental enrollment and participation in programs like counseling, health services, employment assistance, financial literacy, co-parenting classes and more.”
A tenant of 307 West 36th St. since 2008, the nonprofit extended its existing 6,500-square-foot lease on the eighth floor and added an additional 3,750 square feet of space on the 17th floor.
“There has been a growing demand for our work as families living on low incomes were hit hard by both the pandemic and inflation,” said Katherine Snider, chief executive officer of Good+Foundation. “The increased space will allow us to hire additional staff, and welcome more corporate volunteer groups, to help process and sort donations of cribs, clothing, diapers, and more. We are grateful to GFP Real Estate and Barbara Yagoda for working with us to support this much-needed scale up of our work.”
Barbara Yagoda, senior managing director of GFP Real Estate, represented the landlord and the tenant in the transaction.
