At the GRO Fund, we build bold, community-led solutions to economic disparities.

Donate to help end poverty and narrow the racial wealth divide. image

We're fundraising to provide direct assistance to communities experiencing poverty.

GRO leads two pilot programs that put cash directly in the hands of communities and impact public policy. Our programs, and the accompanying advocacy and narrative work, help demonstrate that an inclusive economy is possible. Your support means direct cash assistance and the opportunity to build wealth in the hands of people who need it.
75 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to individuals enrolled in our programs.

Read more about our programs below:

  1. In Her Hands’ Guaranteed Income Initiative - In Her Hands guaranteed income initiative provides a steady and reliable supplement to income to nearly 1000 women across Georgia through monthly cash disbursements between $700 to $1000/month - no strings attached. GRO leads this program in partnership with GiveDirectly. Learn more about the program here and see our coverage here: Essence, the Hill, MSNBC.
  2. Seed Capital for Life Baby Bonds Pilot Program - Seed Capital for Life provides capital needed to build wealth. It seeks to provide a $40,000 baby bond and a $500 guaranteed income per month to hundreds of young Georgians. GRO leads this work in partnership with The New School. Learn more about the program here and see our coverage here: Axios Atlanta and Atlanta Civic Circle.

    Why $6.2 million? This amount enables us to launch our groundbreaking baby bonds pilot program and is a substantial benchmark towards our overall $26 million fundraising goal.
Together, these programs demonstrate a more just and inclusive economy is possible.
