GRO Fund pilots bold programs to eliminate poverty and narrow the racial wealth divide. Donate to help us provide communities the freedom of a stable income and the opportunity of financial security.
At the GRO Fund, we know baseline economic stability enables people to better accomplish what matters most to them. It allows them to provide for their families in safe, dignified ways.
We build bold, community-driven programs to narrow racial wealth gaps. We have two programs:
In Her Hands guaranteed income initiative which provides 850+ women in Georgia a guaranteed income of $850 - $1000 a month.
An Accelerated “Baby Bonds” Pilot which will provide 250 young people with tens of thousands in “start up capital for life” to use on wealth building purchases.
We started the In Her Hands guaranteed income initiative to provide over 650 Black women across the State of Georgia with an income floor for two years. No strings attached. We believe in lifting up Black women, because when Black women thrive, we all thrive, and the results are beyond anything we could have hoped:
6 months into the two year program, we've already seen potentially life changing impacts, including:
In 2023, we've set a goal of raising $50,000 to go towards the In Her Hands guaranteed income initiative, an upcoming "Baby Bonds" pilot program which you can read more about here, and narrative change work which will work with communities to change how we collectively discuss poverty. Make a donation today, and provide the gift of financial freedom to the people who build our communities.
This Giving Tuesday, Georgia Gives the gift of financial freedom, and you can too.
