Grassroots International

Boston, Massachusetts

Cause Description:
Grassroots International fosters democratic change in the Third World through partnerships with community-based groups dedicated to justice. Founded in 1983, Grassroots International provides financial and material aid in Mexico, Haiti, Eritrea, East Timor, Palestine and Brazil. While funding projects that bring tangible results to people’s lives, Grassroots’ underlying strategy is to fortify movements for social change, strengthening and uniting grassroots communities to confront the challenges they face. With a focus on both human rights and human development, Grassroots provides support on issues including food production, economic development, leadership, health, human rights, labor, democratization, literacy, gender and the environment. Grassroots International neither seeks nor accepts US government aid and relies entirely on private contributions.
