At the Julian Grace Foundation, we are committed to reimagining philanthropy as a powerful tool for justice.
As a family-founded and BIPOC-led grantmaking organization, we are guided by our mission, vision, and values that seek to empower communities of color, prioritize initiatives that create lasting, systemic change, and uplift the voices of those most impacted by racial inequity.

The Julian Grace Foundation envisions a just world in which there is renewed hope, socio-economic mobility, unity, and healing within and between individuals, communities, and the
environment.
