In a year defined by deep political and economic uncertainty, the GRO Fund doubled down on what matters most: getting cash to the families who need it.

We are proud to share our 2025 Annual Report, highlighting a year of meaningful growth, resilience, and community impact. Inside, you’ll find an overview of our key milestones:

• Launched Freedom Futures: Cash for Today, Capital for Tomorrow, and enrolled 50 young people in a first-of-its-kind accelerated Baby Bonds program.

• SNAP Rapid Response: Raised $371K in just 10 days to support over 1,200 Atlanta households during the SNAP benefits pause last November.

• In Her Hands: Distributed $2.9M in direct cash to women on Atlanta’s Westside, clearing a path toward long-term stability.

We invite you to read the report and share it with your network.

Thank you for your continued support and unwavering belief in the future we are building together.

Dignity isn’t something we give; it’s something we honor.

In a world that often demands women jump through hoops to prove their worth, In Her Hands takes a different approach: trust.

When we , we hear that they don’t need “guidance.” They need policies that respect their agency and provide the resources that meet their needs. For Natalia, this meant having the breathing room to focus on what truly matters: creating a stable, joyful home for her family.

By providing a consistent financial floor, we can remove the barriers that stand in the way of opportunity.

In Her Hands is a guaranteed income initiative led by The GRO Fund that provides nearly 1,000 women across Georgia with reliable direct cash, no-strings attached.

We know that financial stability isn’t just a number—it’s the autonomy to make decisions for your family and future without delay. When women have the breathing room to choose what’s best for their own families, the entire community thrives.

This Women’s History Month, we’re moving beyond symbolic recognition. We’re investing in a future where every woman has the resources and opportunity to match her ambition.

If you look at Georgia's history, you’ll find a legacy of Black women who understood that power meant more than a single vote; it meant building trust, community, and relationships. From the 1940s through the 1960s, Black women in Savannah helped organize through churches, schools, and civic groups, knitting their community together so tightly that their influence became impossible for local and state leaders to ignore.

By the early 1960s, this neighbor-to-neighbor organizing helped drive Black voter registration in Savannah to some of the highest levels in Georgia and the South. Those gains strengthened Savannah’s role as a statewide leader in Black voter participation. They offered a model for national organizations that increasingly treated registration as the backbone of long-term political and economic power, not just a single-issue campaign.

Savannah’s public facilities were largely desegregated by October 1963, about eight months before the Civil Rights Act of 1964—a reminder that change does not always begin at a podium, but on a front porch or in a living room.

For generations, Black-led movements have grown from Georgia soil. From anti-poverty campaigns to grassroots voter power, these movements have developed strategies that have reshaped culture and policy.

In 1960, student representatives from the Atlanta University Center formed a committee and published “An Appeal for Human Rights,” a manifesto calling for an end to injustice and inequality and demanding structural change from city and state leaders. The realities the students shared sparked a movement that grew quickly, gaining support from national leaders and organizations.

The pressures Americans face today are not new. Security, housing, and the right to a dignified life have long been central to the fight for economic security.

Generations before us demanded a world where security, dignity, and real opportunity are built for every family—and today, that work continues when we change policy by listening to those most affected.
