Grassroots International works to create a just and sustainable world by building alliances with progressive movements. We provide grants to our global south partners and join them in advocating for social change. Our primary focus is on land, water and food as human rights and nourishing the political struggle necessary to achieve these rights.

Grassroots takes a partnership-based approach to grantmaking. We tend to fund groups for several years in order to develop meaningful, reciprocal relationships and to invest in the organizations’ capacity. Central to our partner-relationships is Grassroots’ commitment to transfer resources from donors in the United States to movements in the Global South including Latin America, the Caribbean and the Middle East. By offering long-term, consistent support, grassroots organizations are able to plan accordingly and develop the infrastructure and projects needed to ensure their viability and effectiveness in the social movements in which they participate and lead.
