History

Do Good Roseville began in 2015 when Kathy Ramundt wanted to do something good in our community. She decided to collect winter coats and hats and mittens for children, and Sherry Sanders said “I’ll help!”.

Next we decided to bring together others in our community at informal gatherings to share their ideas. It was at one of the community conversations that Nyia Harris told us her vision for a panel discussion by Black men. None of us expected it to turn into a bi-monthly series or that Do Good Roseville would become a trio!

An all volunteer organization, we continue to grow and unite with others who share our vision. Our philosophy is that is does not matter how many people attend an event, it is always the right people. We also know our reach extends far beyond attendees at a program because many of our programs are taped by Nine North, and are available on an ongoing basis. We have also shared programs with other groups or organizations.

We could not do what we do without the help of organizations who have partnered with us Our frequent partners have included (but not limited to):

Ramsey County Library

Roseville Area School District (ISD623)

League of Women Voters—Roseville Area

City of Roseville

Shoreview Human Rights Commission

Roseville Area Interfaith Community

Kiwanis North Suburban St. Paul

As an all-volunteer organization we operate on a shoestring. We are immensely grateful to all the people who have generously donated their time and expertise for the majority of our programs. We also thank the following organizations who have provided funding for specific programs!
