Prince commissioned Pritzker Prize-winning SANAA architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa to design Grace Farms\, which has become widely known as a global humanitarian and cultural center located in New Canaan\, Connecticut. \nGrace Farms is the platform for the Foundation and its interdisciplinary humanitarian mission to pursue peace through nature\, arts\, justice\, community\, faith\, and Design for Freedom\, a global new movement to eliminate forced labor from the building materials supply chain. The open\, porous architecture of the River building at Grace Farms is embedded into 80 acres of natural biodiverse landscapes. \nThe building\, designed to break down barriers between people and sectors\, invites all to pause and reflect\, while also encouraging engagement with Grace Farms’ work\, including advancing gender and racial equity\, all of which leads to creating new outcomes. \nSince opening\, Grace Farms has garnered numerous prestigious awards for contributions to architecture\, environmental sustainability\, and social good\, including the AIA National 2017 Architecture Honor Award and the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize. \nGrace Farms is pioneering a new form of philanthropic capitalism with a non-profit owned certified B Corp. Prince is the Co-Founder of Grace Farms Tea & Coffee which offers coffees and teas that demonstrate what the Foundation advocates for: ethical and sustainable supply chains. 100% of the profits from Grace Farms Foods supports the Design for Freedom movement to eliminate forced labor from the building materials supply chain.
