Grace & Glory

What Grace & Glory does

Grace & Glory (legal name: Grace and Glory Kids) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2013 by Tanna Clark and headquartered in Lebanon, Tennessee (Mount Juliet area), with operations centered on Grace and Glory Academy in Lanzac, Haiti. The Academy delivers in-person education, a daily hot-lunch feeding program, and leadership development to 300 students spanning Preschool through 9th grade. The organization partners with local Haitian leadership — co-founders Pastor Luckner Fenelon Jean and Madame Willia, alongside a Haiti Project Manager (Kesnel "Paul" Toussaint) and in-country staff — to keep revenue and operations rooted in the community it serves.

The organization's revenue and funding model is a diversified donor stack rather than a commercial sales motion. Core inflows include recurring $30/month child sponsorships (framed as "less than $1 per day"), one-time and recurring donations processed through the Pure Charity online platform, and an annual community fundraiser called The Amazing Race, held in Mount Juliet since 2013 with corporate sponsorship and Providence United Methodist Church as a long-time partner. A Travel/Mission Trip program offers week-long immersion experiences in Haiti for supporters ages 12 and up, functioning as both a programmatic and donor-engagement product.

The technology footprint is intentionally minimal: a WordPress-based website (graceglorykids.org), standard social channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), email newsletters, and the Pure Charity donation infrastructure. There is no proprietary software, no AI/ML capability, no API surface, and no mobile application. The organization's value proposition rests on programmatic outcomes — measurable student enrollment growth (10 preschoolers in 2014 to 300 students currently), 10 years of continuous operation, and a holistic TEACH. FEED. LEAD. service model — rather than on technology differentiation.
