Saved By Grace Outreach

What Saved By Grace Outreach does

Saved By Grace Outreach is a Sacramento, California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2023 by Gary and Tamera Russel, structured around a portfolio of distinct charitable programs rather than a unified product platform. Its core initiatives include Grayson's Project (preemie and newborn-sized sheet blankets for NICU families, inspired by the founders' family NICU experience), Project Christmas (decorated artificial Christmas trees and stockings for financially struggling families), FUNATICALS (an upcoming collectibles retail store opening in 2025), Jurassic Spark (a dinosaur showcase exhibit in development), and Rooted To Rise (a financial guidance and legacy-building program operated through a core partner). The organization also offers nonprofit consulting to aspiring social entrepreneurs and startups.

The underlying technology is minimal: no proprietary systems are disclosed, and the digital presence is built on a Wix-hosted website (savedbygraceoutreach.org) with email and phone as primary contact channels and a third-party booking widget for consultations with Gary Russel. The organization is structured as a family-led charity with EIN 93-3188003 and operates with 1-10 employees based in Northern California.

The business model is non-traditional for the nonprofit sector: rather than soliciting donations as the primary revenue mechanism, the organization is constructing a portfolio of revenue-generating initiatives (retail, exhibits, product sales, consulting) intended to subsidize charitable activities. Confirmed donation inflows are limited to Project Christmas; FUNATICALS, Jurassic Spark, and Grayson's Project are either pre-launch or at unquantified scale. Distribution relies on direct contact, a small partner network of six aligned organizations, and a community-led outreach motion.

Product overview

Saved By Grace Outreach is a nonprofit organization operating as a collection of charitable programs and initiatives rather than a unified technology product. The organization offers five distinct programs: FUNATICALS (an upcoming collectibles retail store opening in 2025), Jurassic Spark (a dinosaur educational exhibit in development), Rooted To Rise (financial literacy and legacy-building guidance), Grayson's Project (specialized sheet blankets for NICU infants), and Project Christmas (holiday assistance with trees and stockings). These programs work together toward the organization's mission of tangible kindness and community support, though they operate as separate initiatives rather than an integrated platform.
