Dr. Tom Grassano is an author, speaker, and change maker who leads strategic outreach to the poor and disenfranchised. He is an accomplished performer and composer with a Doctorate in Music from Florida State University. After serving in summer outreach projects in and outside the U.S., he eventually left his music career and founded Urban Harvest in 1994 in the South Bronx community called “Fort Apache.” Opposition, limited resources and even death threats did not prevent the fulfillment of the vision to bring hope to some of the most desolate places. He expanded Urban Harvest to Detroit in 2005 and founded Hope for the City, an initiative uniting people across cultural, racial and economic boundaries to bring hope to suffering communities in Detroit. Dr. Grassano now leads Go-Mission which is empowering the poor, building bridges across cultures and providing life-changing opportunities to serve in the US and abroad.

Tom has dedicated his life to bringing hope to the unreached and disenfranchised and empowering others to do the same. He has served as a speaker, teacher, and outreach leader in more than 40 states and 20 nations. His greatest passion is his family – his wife, Lidia, and his children, Angel and Tommy. United in mission, God is using this family as agents of hope and catalysts for change in some of the most desperate places.
