Groundwork Project has an active presence in Massachusetts, where our organization was born and founder is based. This work has its own unique track, separate from the 'tough terrain' that anchors our national footprint, but mirrors those efforts in focus and priorities. With its liberal reputation and wealth of progressive representation, it's easy to assume that our state lacks little when it comes to blue infrastructure, coalitions and capacity. That reality is much more complicated and reveals a state wrestling with profound racial, social, economic and political disparities. We believe that dramatic investment in community organizing is the only way for Massachusetts to address this systemic divide in political power and build a Commonwealth that is as inclusive, representative and innovative as its reputation leads the nation to believe. In Massachusetts we offer our flagship grant program, the Organizer Grant Program, to hyperlocal organizers who are working in communities with the lowest voter turnout in the state. This program awards unrestricted, multi-year grants along with access to a vibrant cross-state grantee community and wraparound support from the Groundwork team.
