Mission

Golden state opportunity (gso) is a nonprofit dedicated to ending poverty by providing all californians with the tools to build financial well-being and thrive. Our work is along two complementary tracks getting people the help they need right now and building the infrastructure to change attitudes toward people living in poverty and the policies that keep them there. Gso leads comprehensive statewide campaigns to help families access tax credits and public benefits, achieve financial stability, and plan for the future through programs that uplift low-income californians. Our community of working families is leading the charge for public policies that end poverty in california. Gso wont stop pushing for systemic change until everyone can easily access the resources, they need to meet their basic needs and transform their lives with financial stability.
