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

We're fundraising to put direct cash and the opportunity to build wealth in the hands of people and communities in need.

GRO leads two pilot programs that put cash directly in the hands of people and communities. Our programs, policy advocacy, and narrative work, bring to life leading solutions to address inequality. 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.
