Grounded Growth Initiative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in the Roaring Fork Valley dedicated to expanding access to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu through training scholarships.

We believe Jiu-Jitsu builds more than competitors — it builds discipline, resilience, confidence, and community. But for many people in our valley, the cost of training is the only thing standing between them and the mat.

Your donation funds scholarships that place underserved community members at established partner academies throughout the Roaring Fork Valley. Every scholar is tracked monthly through attendance reports, so you know your support is being used exactly as intended.

$150 puts someone on the mat for a month. $750 funds five months of training. $1,500 covers a full year — a complete transformation.

Our goal is to fund 20 full-year scholarships. Every dollar gets us closer.

All donations are tax-deductible. EIN: 39-5087580
