Join The Greater Sum in supporting…

Food insecurity affects nearly 1.5 million people in New York. At Grassroots Grocery, our mission is to make sure that all New Yorkers have dignified access to healthy food, right in their own communities. We have installed 6 community refrigerators, with four more on the way, in neighborhoods throughout the Bronx and in New York City Housing Authority developments, so community members have access to fresh groceries, close to home, right where they need it.

Over the past year, grocery prices have soared, making healthy meals even more out of reach for the families we serve. We believe that food helps build communities and everyone deserves to be included at the table. We invite you to contribute to Grassroots Grocery and to help make fresh, healthy produce accessible for everyone.

The Greater Sum provides strategic training and mentoring for early stage nonprofit innovators. We invest in organizations who are providing new solutions to old problems, and are ready to expand the scale of their impact. We share their stories so that other philanthropists like you have the opportunity to do the same. If you represent a grant-making organization and would like to be connected with these organizations, contact us directly and we’ll make an introduction! Individuals interested in connecting with Respond: Crisis Translation, please visit their website for more information.

The Greater Sum supports organizations that are scaling their impact, either by expanding their service area or by teaching other organizations to replicate their innovation. Why are we excited about Grassroots Grocery? When they applied for funding they created a Pitch Deck that describes the problem the organization was founded to address, the solution they have created, and resulting outcomes. We invest in teams; the pitch deck shows how the leadership of Grassroots Grocery is laying the groundwork for success.
