The 2012 Grassroots & Groundwork conference is scheduled for June 6-8, 2012, in Minnesota. We hope you’ll join us as we explore the theme: Working Together to Reduce Poverty and Build Prosperity.

This conference is all about what organizations – like yours – are doing to help low-income people build sustainable prosperity in urban areas, rural communities and on Native American reservations. Grassroots & Groundwork shines a light on what’s working and what’s promising, as well as networking, inspiration and down-to-earth, practical approaches to your work.
