About the foundation

We invest in people, so opportunity can take root.

GROW International Foundation is a charitable organization built on a simple conviction: with the right resources at the right moment, anyone can move from surviving to thriving.

Who we are

GROW International Foundation is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, established in 2025 and organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

We are a newly formed foundation with a clear mandate. Rather than claim a long history, we invite you to judge us by our purpose, our governance, and the transparency we hold ourselves to from day one.

What we do

We empower low-income and other language-minority communities worldwide by providing financial support, resources, and opportunities to families, individuals, and college graduates. We support non-profit organizations and individuals dedicated to improving children's education, and we help graduates overcome the financial barriers they face as they enter the workforce.

Our work spans five areas: education support, chess and sports, environmental initiatives, grants and direct assistance, and support for travel to conferences and professional exchange.

How we work

Practical support, delivered with respect.

Workshops

We share knowledge and skills through workshops that help people learn, plan, and progress.

Grants

We provide direct grants and allowances that meet real, immediate needs — from nutrition to education.

Partnerships

We collaborate with other nonprofits and community groups so support reaches further than we could reach alone.

What we stand for

Dignity first.

We believe help should never cost a person their dignity. Every program is designed to expand what people can do for themselves — not to create dependence, but to remove the barriers in front of them.
