Notes:

GrassRoots United provides a base of operations for smaller organizations, pioneering a new model of disaster response. Your donations help communities get access to what they need to rebuild. We aim for this platform to be rapidly deployable in future disasters.

Donated funds are only used to directly help those in need, everyone is a volunteer at GRU, from the director to the new arrivals. Volunteers cover their own transportation and per diem costs, which are used to cover operating costs and employ several Haitian staff on base.

We have been able to leverage our initial investment of a combination of $30,000 with thousands of dollars of donated resources; from mobile phones to water filtration systems, agricultural materials, to our on site 20 and 60 foot Geodesic domes.
