The Grassroots Collaboration Project is an all-volunteer, unincorporated advocacy organization representing the shared interests of leaders of pro-democracy grassroots groups, especially volunteer leaders. Leaders will convene in early 2025 to chart an organizational path.
Pro-democracy group leaders say:
The GCP is an opportunity for me to discuss ideas with other leaders.
Susan, Volunteer Leader, Massachusetts
The Project helps us avoid duplicating effort and allows us to share our successes, actions and concerns.

Clean and Prosperous America Strategic Grassroots Empowerment Fund: Update on Grants Awarded!
In April, the GCP made the grassroots leaders it supports aware of a new funding program being offered by Clean and Prosperous America. The program is designed to provide up to $2,500 for voter engagement work done by volunteer-powered groups for which the Grassroots Directory provided evidence of existence and vibrancy.
To date, a total of 78 proposals have been submitted through the micro-grant RFP. Proposals have been reviewed on a rolling basis by CaPA’s grant review committee. As of early September, CaPA has awarded 33 grants ranging from $500 – $2,500; the majority of organizations funded are volunteer groups that are not incorporated. Their efforts are largely – but not exclusively – focused on voter engagement in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.
