Do Big Good LLC is a co-governance firm based in Seattle.
We help institutions make public decisions with the public.
For the past decade, we have transformed thorny public challenges into opportunities to equitably co-create solutions with — not for — directly-impacted communities at the local, national, and international level. Our work is democracy. Our method is policy co-design.
“Social justice can only be effectively achieved by redistributing power to the most vulnerable groups impacted by decisions.… The transfer of decision-making power also leads to more effective and responsive solutions.”
- Rusconi et al., Designing Democratic Innovations (2025)
GUIDE: Policy Co-Design Basics
We invite you to read our FREE new guide, Policy Co-Design Basics, a short handbook for community leaders, practitioners, elected officials, and organizers. The guide introduces “policy co-design,” our co-governance method in which institutions and communities write the rules together.
