Giving Hope, Inc. & Grace Like Rain

Collaboration moves at the speed of trust. But when the needs of a community outpace the resources available, trust has to move faster. That's exactly what happened between two of our partners, Giving Hope, Inc. and Grace Like Rain. These two nonprofits had a lot in common. Both helped with housing people in crisis. During the pandemic, both were on the frontlines of distributing rental assistance. But there were also differences that the organizations realized complimented each other.

Giving Hope, Inc. primarily serviced individuals seeking housing and assistance. Grace Like Rain worked with families, especially moms and children. Giving Hope Inc. walked with individuals until they found housing. Both nonprofits walked with families through case management and helped them learn life skills.

The two organizations decided to come together in a formal partnership. This allowed them to share information and processes to help people in need faster.

Together, Giving Hope, Inc. and Grace Like Rain distributed $411,980.47 in rental assistance and served 1,140 clients in 2020.

We can always do more together than we can alone. Giving Hope, Inc. and Grace Like Rain are proof that this is true.
