The Martín-Baró Initiative partners with Grassroots International to support grassroots projects built on the power of communities and collective work to recover from experiences of violence, injustice and repression. The Martín-Baró Initiative at Grassroots International helps to connect the energy and resources of donors and activists in the US with global grantmaking to advance social reparation and a more just and equitable world.
About Grassroots International
Established in 1983, Grassroots International (GRI) is a global grantmaking and social action organization that partners with social movements in the Global South and progressive funders in the US. GRI partners, funds, and works in solidarity with movements and organizations around the world in order to nurture sustainable and equitable relationships between people, with the earth and all its living systems.
Grassroots International envisions a world in which a universal commitment to the health and well-being of the earth and all its peoples, fueled by successful global movements for social, economic, and ecological justice, has transformed production practices, consumption patterns, and economic and social relations to ones based on sustainability, equity, and dignity.
Its mission is to connect people in the US with global movements that defend land, territory, water, food, seeds and the earth. With its global partners, Grassroots International seeks to address the root causes of injustice and oppression, and build alternatives that nurture human rights, ecological justice, and liberation. This happens through grantmaking, social action, and philanthropic leadership.
