Rooted in Communities,
Growing Bold Ideas
For Change.
GRO builds bold, evidence-based, and community-led solutions to address poverty & narrow the racial wealth divide.
Our Initiatives
GRO is addressing the root cause of the poverty and the wealth divide by providing, as Dr. King suggests, “the simplest approach,” a guaranteed income and guaranteed wealth. We bring tangible solutions to life for communities we serve and generate a framework for a just and inclusive economy.
In Her Hands
Guaranteed Income Initiative
In Her Hands is a guaranteed income initiative focused on putting a solution to financial insecurity in the hands of women in Georgia. No strings attached.
Freedom Futures: Cash for Today, Capital for Tomorrow
Pilot Program
GRO Fund is bringing the Baby Bond to life in Georgia through a first-of-its-kind program. The 4-year accelerated program will enroll youth and young adults and provide a guaranteed income and a Baby Bond, demonstrating the power of income to support families today with the capital foundation to build wealth. This addresses the root cause of wealth inequality – wealth itself.
The program includes three key components: an investable lump sum (“Baby Bond”), a $500/month guaranteed income, and financial advising services.
“We should all share in the eradication of poverty.”
