Grassroot Outreach/Startup By LJ

What problem would you like to solve?

Increase support for existing community orgs already providing services.

Access to resources/training for new community org initiatives.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Many individuals & orgs are already doing work to serve their local communities… or they have ideas they’d like to initiate. However they might lack funding, structure, etc to sustain/ scale their efforts.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Increase funding directly to orgs.

Create a point of contact for Grassroots, Orgs in general and BIPOC and LGBTQ communities specifically.

Who would that help?

New grassroot orgs

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

TRIE Neighborhood- 11404
