Our Story
A Foundation Built on Grace
Great Grace Foundation is an advocacy non-profit for women, youths and children committed to empowering women, youths and children, particularly new immigrants in Canada, by fostering mental, social, and financial well-being. We work to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where women, youths and children can thrive, heal, and achieve their full potential.
Our work pairs direct, compassionate support with advocacy that challenges the conditions limiting women's safety and economic participation.
Our Mission
Great Grace Foundation is an advocacy non-profit for women, youths and children committed to empowering women, youths and children, particularly new immigrants in Canada, by fostering mental, social, and financial well-being. We work to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where women, youths and children can thrive, heal, and achieve their full potential.
Our Mandate
“Our mandate is to change the institutional conditions that limit women's economic participation and safety, not to help women adapt to discrimination, unequal pay, or inflexible workplace practices.”
Removing barriers, not asking women to adapt.
Our Vision
A world where every adolescent girl recognizes and reaches her fullest potential, in an environment that nurtures confident, resilient, and empowered young women prepared to lead and inspire change.
