The Full of Grace Foundation prioritizes economic empowerment for Black and Brown entrepreneurs, creatives, and small community organizations, funding a mix of for-profit LLCs and nonprofits that serve underserved neighborhoods. Its portfolio emphasizes capacity-building (notably a large coaching grant) and direct operating support to a wide set of local businesses in sectors like food, beauty, arts, and youth programming. The foundation tends to fund many similarly sized awards alongside one larger strategic investment, signaling both breadth and targeted impact on entrepreneurship and community cultural projects.
Full of Grace Foundation Inc. pairs a large coaching investment with a wide set of $35,000 awards to Black- and Brown-owned businesses, nonprofits, and community enterprises. The single largest recent grant went to FundBlackFounders for coaching services for grantee recipients, suggesting that the foundation funds both direct operating support and capacity-building when it sees a broader multiplier effect. Around that anchor, its recent awards include Twisted Plants, Cool Crayations LLC, South La Cafe, and Rayven Choi Multimedia LLC (Shero Games), showing support for food, creative, and neighborhood-serving ventures. The foundation’s recipients also include small businesses and nonprofit entities that serve underserved communities, from apparel and beauty to dance, education, and home-related work. Its pattern of backing many similarly sized grants points to a strategy of reaching a broad local network of founders and organizations rather than concentrating on a few large institutions. The leadership listing for JRUE HOLIDAY aligns with the foundation’s founder-led profile and helps explain the emphasis on entrepreneurship support and community-based economic activity.
A central theme in the foundation’s giving is entrepreneurship support for Black and Brown founders. That shows up in the $203,000 grant to FundBlackFounders for coaching services for grantee recipients, which frames technical assistance as part of its funding approach rather than a separate program. It also backs food and neighborhood-serving businesses. Twisted Plants received $35,000, and South La Cafe received $35,000, both with language tied to supporting Black and Brown owned businesses and nonprofits. Creative and youth-oriented work also appears in the grant list. Rayven Choi Multimedia LLC (Shero Games) received $35,000, while Future Masters Chess Academy LLC received $35,000, showing support for multimedia, games, and youth enrichment. Arts-led projects such as Dorchester Art Project and Bri's Dance Place LLC fit the same pattern of backing small cultural enterprises.
Typical awards cluster tightly around $35,000, with a median of $20,000 and a 75th percentile also at $20,000; the lower quartile is $17,500. One grant sits well above that pattern: $203,000 to FundBlackFounders in 2023 for coaching services for grantee recipients. The recent record shows repeated support across 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating ongoing grantmaking rather than a one-time round. Full of Grace Foundation Inc. is a Regular Funder and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The pattern is direct grants, often to operating businesses and small organizations, with many awards repeated at the same size.

Distributed support across many small-to-mid-size awards (most at ~$35,000) to individual LLCs and small nonprofits, combined with at least one larger capacity-building grant (~$203,000). Grants appear unrestricted/program support for operations or mission delivery, favor repeatable, equitable-sized awards to many grantees rather than multi-year concentrated funding for a few.
Notable grantees: FundBlackFounders, Goldmill Greenwood Ave, South LA Cafe, Dorchester Art Project, WOC Educators (Supernova Women)
Grant recipients are overwhelmingly local to California: 99% of grants go to recipients in CA, and the recipient country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. Many recent awards go to El Dorado Hills, including Twisted Plants, Cool Crayations LLC, Rivet Electric Works Inc, and Melanin Haircare LLC. Outside that cluster, recent recipient locations include New York, NY for FundBlackFounders. The geographic picture is concentrated rather than national, with giving centered on California communities.
