Do Big Good LLC is a co-governance firm based in Seattle.
We help institutions make public policy with the public.
For the past decade, we have transformed public challenges into opportunities for regional, state, national, and international institutions to co-design policies with directly-impacted communities, leveraging the wisdom of their lived experience into policy solutions that are innovative, fair, and effective.
“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.
