Our Foundation

Vision

Grace Farms Foundation aspires to advance good in the world, providing a peaceful respite and porous platform to experience nature, encounter the arts, pursue justice, foster community, and explore faith.

Mission

Grace Farms is a cultural and humanitarian center. We bring together people across sectors to explore nature, arts, justice, community, and faith at the SANAA-designed River building and Barns, situated on 80 acres of natural landscapes. 

Our humanitarian work to end modern slavery and foster more grace and peace in our local and global communities includes leading the Design for Freedom movement to eliminate forced labor in the building materials supply chain.

Grace Farms Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, contributions to which are tax deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.
