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 Black women in Georgia. No strings attached.
Baby Bonds
Accelerated Pilot Program
GRO Fund is bringing the Baby Bond to life in Georgia through a first of its kind program. The 6-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.
If fully funded, we’ll provide a Baby Bond of up to $40,000, a $500/month guaranteed income, and wrap around services like financial advising to those eligible. The pilot program will run for 6 years.
“We should all share in the eradication of poverty.”
