Doug Godard’s written works include Best Day at the Zoo and A Surprise for a Friend – the first two books in a series that introduces children to personal financial literacy concepts. These illustrated children’s books empower children with financial knowledge to serve them their entire lives, and have been praised by parents and educators. They are available on Amazon and at local bookshops, and are read to children during Financial Literacy Days.
As the founder of Bonzy Charities, Doug leverages Bonzy’s resources to bring these books to students in elementary schools across the United States through Financial Literacy Days.
Doug and his wife, Cheryl, live in Columbus, OH. Doug and Cheryl have three grown children and a grandson. After 40 years in commercial real estate, Doug shifted his energies to Bonzy Charities, a nonprofit he founded. Doug is passionate about supporting children who are economically disadvantaged and helping them reach their full potential. Doug is active in his Upper Arlington Rotary Club, is an avid perennial gardener, and plays a lot of pickleball.
