GRACE IMPACT DEVELOPMENT CENTER INC

Robert Wood Johnson: Grant funds were allocated for various non-contractual staffing positions; developing the foundation of sustainability to the nonprofit. The role descriptions for executive director director and event coordinator were established for the year and completed successfully: which included conducting monthly board meetings developing partnerships and programs and managing executing a major cultural festival and community engagements.

SC Funds-These funds were used in the following ways: 1 The Mobile Welding Workforce Development Program utilized our partnership with retired master welders and a welding inspector to take training opportunities into communities where barriers exist to attend current programs. This allowed residents to take advantage of the many open welding job opportunities in Berkeley County with the help of some of our partners who provided soft skill training resume building and transportation. 2 The Micro Learning Center is a web-based app that was created to extend many of our community center based programs into rural areas electronically via partnerships with churches and other community based organizations. These funds supported programming and further connections and partnership building in rural Berkeley County. 3 Full financial audit. With this audit we will continue to be positioned for larger capacity and programming grants from government public and private grantors. 4 Our Harvesting Hope Food Pantry currently provides food distribution twice per month to over 100 households. These community members heavily rely on the food pantry to supplement their food security. 5 The marketing and resource development will help our nonprofit capture and effectively share the work we do and our stories.
