We are GSB alumni working together to fight poverty

We fund grantees that focus on tangible impacts.  

We support a select group of projects based on:

  • Magnitude of expected social impact
  • Entrepreneurial characteristics; specifically the ability to leverage local capacity to create and build human and financial capital
  • Feasibility of proposal, and sustainability of benefits
  • Potential to translate successes to other locations, related endeavors, and other organizations
  • Significance of Project Redwood’s funding and non-financial resources
  • Compatibility with Project Redwood’s mission, portfolio, and available alumni resources
