What Sisters of Grace, Inc. does

Sisters of Grace, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2019 and headquartered in Dacula, Georgia (EIN 83-3954428), with operational delivery in the Golden Triangle region spanning Northern Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos. The organization, operating under the DBA 'Sister of Grace Asia,' provides residential safe-haven services—centered on the Hanna's Hut facility and the recently completed Safe Harbour Playground—for girls at risk of human trafficking from Hill Tribe communities. Its service stack integrates trauma-informed counseling (via a local counseling-center partner), education, tutoring, vocational training, life-skills development, medical and dental care, and Christian discipleship, with extended support for beneficiaries entering higher education through its Llama U program.

The organization's revenue model is multi-channel donor funding rather than product sales. Recurring revenue comes from Sponsor Llama monthly sponsorships ($100/month, 2-year minimum) and Llama U university sponsorships ($250/month, 2-year minimum). Episodic and major-gift revenue is generated through one-time donations ($10–$200 tiers plus custom amounts), the Legacy Garden naming program ($5,000–$100,000 tiers), the Legacy of Grace endowment fund, and planned-giving instruments including bequests, charitable trusts/annuities, and gifts of appreciated securities. Donor acquisition runs through the Squarespace-hosted website, newsletter, the 'Lens on Sisters of Grace' blog, beneficiary testimonials, and founder-led speaking engagements by Rev. Emily Leatherbarrow.

Governance is concentrated among three named leaders: Emily Leatherbarrow (President/Founder, 25+ years of anti-trafficking advocacy), James Leatherbarrow (CFO), and Aye Chananan (National Director, concurrently a senior lawyer at Panu & Partners Co. Ltd. in Bangkok). US-side headcount is reported at five employees. There is no disclosed parent company, institutional backing, or commercial revenue. Operational scale is small—expansion is signaled primarily through facility buildout rather than donor or headcount data—placing the entity in the micro-nonprofit segment with a faith-based, community-led go-to-market model rather than a scalable technology platform.
