Grace Farms Foundation
Annual Benefit

Each October, we host a benefit designed to raise funds and achieve significant new outcomes. Our fourth annual benefit focused on the concept of building a sustainable future, championing change together as guests enjoyed an elegant zero-waste dinner, a spotlight on the cocoa industry with Tony’s Chocolonely, auction items with sustainable and ethical supply chains, music from DJ ELEW and saxophonist Marcus Miller, and a special performance from Parisa Khobdeh Dance Company.

This connective and impactful evening helped to provide critical support for our work, allowing us to make strides in our 2019 focus areas related to sustainability, including:

• • Combatting contemporary slavery through advocacy work and public outreach, hosting free public programs that provide education around supply chain transparency and forced labor.
  • Initiating a regional campaign to encourage people to support pollinators in their own backyard.
  • Achieving our second, prestigious Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for Operations & Management.
  • Convening not-for-profits that are leading sustainable efforts locally and regionally.

All benefit donations directly supported the Grace Farms Fund, which sustains Grace Farms and our five initiatives.
