We are a philanthropic apparel and lifestyle brand aimed at helping our local  communities - utilizing distinct fashion as a vehicle of change. We produce very limited unit and authentic clothing that is proudly made in the USA. Everyone has the opportunity to serve a purpose greater than themselves and leave a lasting positive impact.  

Our 20% Promise:
Most clothing brands are giving either 0% or 10% of their profits to charity. Well, in our opinion, this simply was not enough to have a true lasting impact on those in need. As such, we promise that 20% of the selling price of each of our Grace and Glory crewnecks sold will go to a cause of of your choice from our "supported causes" listing below. We will personally notify you via email as to which organization received your donation.
