For 120 years, Grace Institute has empowered low-income women in NYC to achieve living-wage employment and economic self-sufficiency through job-skills training, counseling, placement services and continuous learning opportunities. Grace Institute will serve over 180 women this year, ages 18-64, the majority of whom make $6,000 annually before joining our program.
Our annual Breakfast with Grace will be held on October 14, 2021, and our goal is to raise $300,000 to support our efforts to serve over 180 women this year! We are so thankful for our donors who will make this success possible.
