Join the Movement

With your support, we’re turning layoffs into launchpads

At Grounded Idealist, we're on a mission to change lives. For us, this starts by supporting those who have dedicated their lives to serving others. With your contribution and our human-centered programming, we are investing in our collective futures by empowering tens of thousands of mission-driven professionals to continue serving. 

• Public health workers who protect our communities, educators who transform lives, first responders who provide critical assistance during crises, decorated veterans, nonprofit leaders, park rangers, life-saving scientists, and thousands of dedicated individuals who do crucial work to make us healthier, safer, and more advanced as a society.

Every day, we see the impact of our coaching, training, and career transition services on our most talented public servants. We are turning layoffs into launchpads!

But we can't do it alone. We need your help to continue supporting these visionaries and public servants. By joining us, you'll be part of something bigger than yourself—a movement to shape the future of public service.
