Divine Grace Foundation aims to execute the Kingdom commission to combat and heal community disorders across the globe. Divine Grace Foundation: an extension of God’s love and healing to the world. We meet people at the very site of suffering through our financial, health, and spiritual educational programming and strategic partners.
As a result of this mandate, our vision is to combine and create systems that will generate more socio-economic equity, redistributing resources in a fashion that fosters economic mobility. We aim to produce more life-giving environments that foster innovation, improve health, a sense of belonging, and economic mobility.
Divine Grace Foundation is a family-led non-profit organization that provides a blend of resources to communities suffering from severe socioeconomic inequities across the globe. We combat poverty outcomes through personal development and community empowerment initiatives. The foci include economic, health, and spiritual provisions.
Divine Grace also seeks to inspire and facilitate the sharing of resources (wealth, talents, time, and systems) amongst community members – essentially a “culture of generosity”. Finally, we invoke government, corporate, religious, academic, and community leaders to unite resources and create an ultimate model for economic reform.
Jesus says: “Go and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near.[d] 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as FREELY as you have received!”
DGF bridges the gap between those who have with those who are in need. We consult with community outreach programs or ministries with an established track record of success in their geographic locations. We gather data from these entities to determine where improvement and reform can occur to benefit the community. Then we provide the resources to solve those issues as well. There needs to be flexibility in organizational structure to allow the development of appropriation strategies that respond to new problems.
DGF provides subsidies for preventive medical care in efforts to decrease racial health disparities. Preventive medicine is cost-efficient, comprehensive and patient-centered care. We plan to utilize media to inspire individuals to connect with organizations that need them. These media tools can locate organizations and individuals with appropriation strategies that have been successful in community outreach.
