Our Brief History
In the summer of 2017, as Kyle Peck and John Seymour were discussing what they might do in retirement, the idea of using their interest and developing skills in woodworking to do good for the community was exciting, so they decided to create "Doing Good with Wood" (DGWW).
On June 1, 2018, their application to form an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit (with tax exempt status) was approved, and DGWW was designated as a "public charity." This enabled DGWW to solicit donations from corporations, philanthropic institutions, and individuals to support its work. In September of 2018 DGWW formed a five member Board of Directors, and in the Fall of 2018 we began our work with learners and nonprofit organizations.
DGWW has evolved over the years, and as of January of 2025 has worked in support of 29 different nonprofit organizations, as well as individuals ranging from Pre-K to Seniors. We are now about as busy as we like to be, but we look forward to adding new projects as we complete current projects.

We've got a lot to do, but we are excited and are on our way!
