About us.
Our mission.
From the Ground Up is a pilot project that operates across Europe to empower early-stage nonprofits, initiatives, and projects in building their capacity, by helping to structure the project, studying its viability, making it visible, and, in some cases, providing enhanced administrative support.
We are dedicated to supporting projects that originate from marginalized youth and those committed to ecological, racial, gender, and intersectional justice. We aim to be a bridge that connects young changemakers with the support they need to succeed. Our mission is to cultivate a supportive space where your voice is heard and your ideas can thrive!
Our unique approach.
Focus on marginalized youth
We recognize the unique challenges faced by marginalized communities
to launching and sustaining their projects.
We prioritize supporting projects led by those who are often overlooked by traditional support systems.
Shifts Traditional Hierarchies
By breaking down conventional top-down structures, we create a more equitable and relatable space for collaboration. We believe that meaningful inclusion is about involving the communities in identifying problems and opportunities, and creating solutions on their own terms.
Accessible
We understand that rigid structures can often be intimidating and exclusionary, especially for marginalized youth. We aim to create a more accessible and approachable space that encourages creativity, collaboration, and innovation, to help young changemakers build the confidence and skills they need to drive their projects forward.
Explore our programs, connect with like-minded individuals, and become part of a community dedicated to justice and change.
Our commitment to marginalized youth and our unique approach ensures that you will find a welcoming and empowering environment to develop your project.
