Programs and results
What we aim to solve
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.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
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.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
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
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
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.
