Women’s Alliance

Grace Place Women's Alliance

Mission Statement

The Grace Place Women’s Alliance brings together women who care deeply about their community and are committed to uplifting single mothers and children experiencing homelessness as they work toward stability, dignity, and hope.

As a member, you will gather twice each year with other like-minded women to connect, learn, and engage in meaningful conversations about the challenges facing women and children living in poverty in Sumner County, and discuss solutions to improve their future stability. These gatherings feature thoughtful keynote speakers who address issues that matter not only to the families we serve, but also to the lives and concerns of our members.

At the heart of the Alliance is the shared belief that collective generosity creates lasting change. Members pool their annual philanthropic gifts and, together, decide which Grace Place programs, projects, or critical needs will be funded each year. Through this collaborative approach, the Women’s Alliance helps restore hope and opportunity for women and children who have experienced isolation, lack of support, and limited access to education, resources, and essential life skills. Our focused efforts strengthen pathways toward safe, healthy, and independent lives within our community.

We invite you to join the Grace Place Women’s Alliance and stand alongside women who are making a meaningful difference. 

Those interested in learning more about the Women’s Alliance and the mission of Grace Place are welcome to schedule a tour, call (615) 881-3976, or email us directly.
