Grassroots Grantmakers and The Sprout Fund

Grassroots Grantmakers is a network of place-based funders in the United States and Canada who are working from a “we begin with residents” perspective – supporting active citizenship, strengthening democracy and building civic capacity at the block level and community-wide with scale-appropriate grants, a mutually relational style of grantmaking, and a learning orientation. Funders in this network are working to strengthen resident-controlled associations, and help people that come together because of a shared interest in improving their block, their neighborhood, or their community to be a stronger voice for change and community vitality.
