Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Our organization is transition from a more education oriented interest in support grants to a humanistic welfare support interest. During 2020, we provided support grants to FL, NM, and IN not for profits which emphasized human hunger and jobless issues. This is in keeping with our strategic plan to move from education to human suffering relief efforts.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Grace Family Foundation provides financial support and volunteer service hours to 501(c)3 organizations with a mission
of Women & Men in service to others.
Grace Family Foundation, Inc shall provide a minimum of $1,250,000.00 of grants to 501(c)3 organizations within the
next five years. The five directors of the Grace Family Foundation, Inc shall provide a minimum of 500 hours of
volunteer service within the next five years.
We measure our efforts by close follow-up on each organization we support and we do extensive Guidestar research of each of our grants. We intend to move from education emphasis to efforts which relieve human suffering and efforts to improve the environment.

Our main strategy is to stay the financial course of investing foundation assets in a well diversified fund of growth
oriented stocks. This strategy has allowed our asset base to grow by 18% per year during the past seven very difficult
years for stocks and investing.
Our target audience has all ways been midwest USA located groups with and art, education, environmental, hunger,
healthcare, and income disparity education missions. We are transitioning to the west/southwest USA for these same
goals with animal welfare, water, Hispanic and Indian support.
This effort will allow our service audience to grow and support more diverse groups of Women and Men in service to
others.

Current Stock assets of $4,300,000.00.
a young and vital board of five directors who work on our mission outside of our three annual, marathon meetings;
tremendous trust support from the Linda Moss & Julie Lenahan of National Bank of Indianapolis;
excellent investment counsel from Todd Musser of Diamond Investment;
and fine tax advice and return preparation from Brett Spangler from Sikich, LLC
are all the key components for our success and are why we shall achieve our goal

GRACE Family Foundation, Inc. was formed in February, 2010 and as of today has provided 550 volunteer support hours and program gift funds of $1,334,000.00 to thirty-six 501(c) (3) organizations located across the USA.
