Human Capital Campaign
In January 2011, Groundwork Somerville launched its first-ever Human Capital Campaign. We aim to raise $100,000 in the 2011 calendar year to support our efforts within the City of Somerville and beyond. We have named this campaign in honor of our organization’s investment in “human capital” – that is, the strengths gained by communities and individuals through education and experience. As we work to advance our mission of “Changing Places, Changing Lives” in Somerville and its surrounding communities, we are continually cultivating human capital. We hope you will join us in these efforts by contributing to our fundraising campaign.
