Just as a business
entrepreneur uses cutting-edge innovation to create a new product or
service, a social entrepreneur innovates to solve a social need. |

Global Grassroots is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization which invests in social entrepreneurship to
advance women's wellbeing in poor countries. Our Mission is to
unite, empower and support relief of poor, distressed and underprivileged
women worldwide.
First, we
train communities in the use of socially
entrepreneurial approaches to social change. Second, we help
visionaries launch their new ideas through collaborative
investment.
Third, we spread social change by helping other small communities
replicate and adapt existing ideas from our growing portfolio of
social innovation. Last, we engage in
creative campaigns to tell the
living stories of suffering and triumph
to raise awareness of critical women's issues globally.
Our vision is that the challenges of oppression will
unite women globally, that the stories of women’s triumphs will inspire
others to act, and that ideas benefiting women will enable countless
others advance social change.
Global Grassroots was founded in
2004 by
Gretchen Steidle Wallace.
