Become a WORTH member today.
WORTH is a charitable membership group comprised of emerging change makers (ages 22-40). Members learn about critical needs facing our community and decide how to meet those needs through a collaborative grantmaking process. WORTH empowers the next generation to change Fort Worth for the better. The group has awarded over $100,000 to local nonprofits since 2016.
