Our Belief
Led by principal and founder Larry C. Johnson, M. E. Grace believes that a sustainable, dependable philanthropic revenue stream is possible for all charitable organizations—large or small.
Our Perspective
M. E. Grace works with each client from a perspective defined by the Eight Principles of Sustainable FundraisingTM.
Donor Focus
Sustainable fundraising is enabling philanthropy that is built upon relationships between organizations and donors. Philanthropy is people investing in the lives of others.
Relationships
Without mutually beneficial relationships between donors and the organizations in which they invest there is no long-term commitment—or renewable revenue.
Sustainability
A renewable, repeatable and expandable revenue stream must be present for an organization to thrive. We counsel our clients to align their fundraising efforts with the Eight PrinciplesTM to achieve the maximum sustainable charitable income.
Our Name
Our firm takes its name from the three daughters of our founder, Larry C. Johnson. Their names, “Mary”, “Elizabeth”, and “Grace” form the name, “M. E. Grace.”
