Groundwork USA is a non-profit organization that works on behalf of a national network of Groundwork trusts. Groundwork trusts are non-profits established across the United States in places that have experienced decades of decline in their physical and social environments. Our mission is to foster and awaken the potential of these neighborhoods by working with communities to improve their physical environment. In doing so, we hope to help neighborhoods gain a renewed sense of place, opportunity, and pride.
