how we build

through market pilots, we discover and distribute what works — blueprints, applications, processes, tools — to the builders and communities that need them most, freely, through our on-the-ground network, groundwork.

groundwork is embedded in the communities we support

groundwork is a distributed network of local builders, fellows, and partners who live and understand the needs and nuances of each community intimately.
it connects them with the builders and thinkers who will take the work forward and own it.

the birthright collective was seeded in 2025

by a diverse, dispersed community of thinkers, artists, doctors, scientists, and contrarian optimists.
