Rooted in Communities, Growing Bold Ideas for Change
The Georgia Resilience & Opportunity (GRO) Fund explores bold, evidence-based and community-driven solutions to create a most just and equitable Georgia.
In Spring 2022, we’re launching a groundbreaking $13 million guaranteed income program supporting Black women across Georgia
In Her Hands, an initiative of the GRO Fund and GiveDirectly, aims to provide 650 women across Georgia an average of $850 monthly for two years.
Launching first in Atlanta’s historic Old Fourth Ward in early 2022, the project will expand to at least two additional sites in Southwest Georgia and the Metro Atlanta suburbs.
In Her Hands is actively fundraising to support as many participants as possible across Georgia. Help us get across the finish line:
Our work is rooted in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward, the childhood neighborhood of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and where he preached about guaranteed income 50 years ago.
We believe in the message of Dr. King, who in 1964 had a message for the world:
“I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits.”
The GRO Fund is building an audacious future for Georgians and communities across the United States. We hope you’ll join our efforts to advance racial and economic justice by sharing and supporting our work.
