Mission

The DeGood Foundation's mission is to ensure that all children in Hampton Roads will have equitable access to early literacy resources.

What We Do

The DeGood Foundation is the home of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in Hampton Roads, VA. The Imagination Library is a book-gifting program where children who are registered with the program will receive a free brand-new, age-appropriate book in the mail every single month from the time they're born until they start Kindergarten at age five. The Imagination Library inspires a love of books, reading, and learning within the hearts and minds of children while preparing them for Kindergarten and their education beyond.
