Grace Gives 2016:

At Grace, we recognise that if not for our local communities, we would not have grown as we have over the years, so each year Grace undertakes a range of initiatives to support and maintain that community connection throughout New Zealand.

Last year Grace donated $6,000 to deserving charities, check out what a few of our Grace Gives Grant recipients achieved with their grant:

	Second Chance Dog Rescue Second Chance Dog Rescue received a Grace Gives Grant and used it towards giving abandoned dogs and puppies a second chance at finding a forever home.
	Equestrian 4 Everyone Equestrian 4 Everyone’s were another of our Grace Gives recipients, our Auckland Branch Manager Scott attended their annual ribbon day event to award the group with a Grace Gives Grant of $1,000 to fund a mounting ramp for riders with mobility issues.
	New Zealand Centre for Gifted Education The New Zealand Centre for Gifted Education used their Grace Gives Grant to support gifted children by maximising their potential through recognition, access and support.
	Learn Active Learn Active received a Grace Gives grant of $1,000 towards surfing days which were held earlier this year. More than 40 students attended the surfing activities which were help over seven days.
