Grand Parents Rights Organization

Description

The Grandparents Rights Organization is a national volunteer nonprofit organization founded in 1984 by founder and executive director, attorney Richard S. Victor. It has been qualified as tax-exempt organization under section 501 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code as an organization described in section 501 (c) (3). It's purpose is to educate and support grandparents and grandchildren and to advocate their desire to continue a relationship that may be threatened with loss of contact or amputation, usually following: family acrimony; a child being born out of wedlock; the death of one of the child's parents or the divorce of the grandchild's parents. Originally started in Oak Park, Michigan, the Grandparents Rights Organization (GRO) moved to Birmingham, Michigan where it remained until the national headquarters moved to its present location at 100 W. Long Lake Road, Ste. 250, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48304. The phone number is (248) 646-7191. In 1991 Newsweek magazine called GRO "the nation's largest" organization of its type supporting the rights of grandparents. CURRENT STATUS OF GRO: Since our organization is a nonprofit, volunteer organization, which uses the small membership fee/donation that is charged yearly to assist in paying our yearly overhead expenses, we are limited in the services, which we are able to provide on a national level, at this time.
