Collective Giving. Personal Impact.
Giving is more powerful when it's shared.
The Grace Circle is a community of givers who come together to support Houston-area nonprofits through collective action and compassion. Each quarter, members contribute, cast their vote, and help decide which organization will receive the next Grace Fund contribution.
This circle isn't about large sums — it's about shared purpose. Whether you give $25 or $250, every gift joins with others to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those served by our local nonprofits.
We're building our Grace Circle community first! The number of organizations we can nominate depends on how many generous hearts join us. Our goal is to select 3 nominees for each giving round, but we need committed members to make this vision a reality.
Contribute any amount you wish to the current giving round.
Once we have enough members, we'll open nominations for Houston nonprofits. Members vote together to select up to 3 finalist organizations.
100% of all funds collected are donated to the selected finalist organizations within two weeks of the vote. Each receives an equal share of the total raised.
Members receive transparent updates and photos of each donation, so you can see your impact in action.
All funds are held in a dedicated account separate from personal finances and disbursed directly to the nonprofit(s) selected by member vote. No portion of your contribution is used for administration, marketing, or personal income.
