LEGACY OF GRACE
Building a lasting foundation for generations to come.
Over 2 million children are trafficked or enslaved in the world today.
Trafficking is lucrative, growing, and remains one of the top three criminal industries, and yet:
Trafficking is profitable and highly funded.
Exploitation continues to thrive because it generates enormous profit for those who take advantage of the vulnerable.
Anti-trafficking work remains underfunded.
This lack of consistent support slows the rescue and restoration process—making it harder to identify victims, provide aftercare, and pursue justice.
When funding is unpredictable, it hinders growth and stability for organizations like Sisters of Grace. But with steady support, we can continue to expand our reach, strengthen programs, and bring lasting healing and hope to girls in need.
PURPOSE
The Sisters of Grace Endowment was created to sustain and grow our mission—to provide safety, education, and restoration for girls rescued from trafficking and abuse.
Together with faithful supporters, ministry partners, and dedicated staff, we’re building a lasting foundation—one that ensures this work continues for generations to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
About the Legacy Fund
-
The Sisters of Grace Endowment is a permanent fund created to sustain our mission for generations to come.
Each gift to the endowment is invested professionally, following careful and ethical guidelines. Only the earnings are used each year to support our programs—the principal remains untouched so it can continue to grow.
This approach creates a steady, reliable source of income that allows Sisters of Grace to plan confidently for the future—funding safe housing, education, and healing for girls rescued from trafficking.
-
Anti-trafficking work is underfunded. Traffickers have stronger networks and more resources, slowing victim identification, aftercare, and justice. Greater funding allows us to expand staff, provide essential care, and strengthen investigations that lead to real accountability.
Sustainable funding creates lasting change. Daily operations rely on ongoing support—but long-term impact depends on endowment gifts that generate predictable income and a growing financial base.
Sisters of Grace is ready to grow. With strong systems, dedicated partners, and programs focused on safety, education, and restoration, your investment helps expand our reach and secure the future of this mission.
-
