Ready, Set, Go!

As Golden State Opportunity approached its 10th anniversary, we knew the next decade was our time to achieve ambitious goals and take the organization to the next level. We launched a strategic planning process to chart that course and with guidance from a national consulting firm, our staff, partners, and stakeholders. We refined our mission, clarified our goals, and shaped a bold vision for GSO through 2035.

While our core mission to end poverty by creating financial security for low-income workers remains unchanged, our agenda is more finely tuned to building the foundation for the power we will need to change policy at all levels of government.

We are deepening our advocacy at both the state and federal levels, strengthening our network of community-based partners, and continuing to put money in the pockets of workers.

As the cost of living continues to skyrocket and wages are no longer enough, we will be advancing efforts to raise wages, strengthen the EITC, and promote basic income so that every American can meet their needs. We are excited for this next decade and look forward to doing more good with your support. We hope you join us for the ride.
