Funding the Future
In recent years, Gooding has made it a part of their tours to contribute back to the communities they have received help from in the past, from military bases to Walter Reed Hospital. In the last few years, Gooding has worked to create Funding the Future LIVE, a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to teaching and inspiring children to become financially literate. Gooding has performed at more than 80 high schools, and at the Conference of World Affairs for four years. For their contributions, they were invited to a private tour of the White House.

In April 2015, Gooding was praised by the Wall Street Journal for being a "Trojan Horse" of financial literacy.

Music
The music of Gooding has been featured in more than 200 films, including Walk the Line, Ice Age 2, Iron Man 2; TV shows such as CSI, Portlandia, Cold Case, Numbers, The Closer, Katie, The Good Wife, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report; video games; and commercials for Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, Marriot, Adobe, and Cisco.

Their singles "Mountain" and "Hey Hey" reached the top 50 in the AAA charts.
