Invest in stronger communities
Your support funds multi-year grants to grassroots organizations, evidence-based programs, and capacity-building partnerships across the regions we serve. Every gift is restricted, accountable, and measured by the lives it changes.
Choose the level that fits your commitment
Monthly partners power our most stable, long-horizon grants. Every tier moves Common Ground closer to its goal of multi-year investment in community-led change.
Make your gift
One hundred percent of your donation is restricted to program work. Operating costs are covered separately by our board-led endowment, audited each year and published in our annual report.
Where the dollars went
Each year we publish a full breakdown of what was funded, who received it, and what changed. Below is the headline picture from our most recent audit.
