TGCF’s Resource Exchange Center —
Connecting the Need to the Remedy
Since its inception The Grace Children’s Foundation has recognized the need
to serve the whole child. The means to deliver the resources necessary to
support the wellbeing of the children is equally important. While there are
many outstanding programs serving children in China there is no one center
of operations that connects philanthropic resources directly to the children
in need. Professionals and volunteers are often frustrated by myriad
obstacles when donating their care, expertise or funding. TGCF’s Resource
Exchange Center, established in New York City, coordinates and delivers
vital resources through the Foundation’s three core programs.
The Foundation has created an innovative solution that links children to
donated goods and services. This mechanism alleviates the constant struggle
and often frustrating search for appropriate resources to respond to both
emergency and long term care needs.
TGCF is working to expand its outreach by establishing a global office in
Beijing—a central hub that, once fully funded, provides a replicable,
systematic method of healing and learning, coordinating and delivering
vital resources—linking orphaned children and disadvantaged children to
medical/surgical care, education and vocational opportunities and
humanitarian aid.
The Grace Children’s Foundation’s Resource Exchange Centeroffers a
unique opportunity to channel capacities of individuals and organizations
worldwide. This mechanism supports a viable system that serves the children,
offers incentives to caregivers and expands our reach from the orphanages to
include disadvantaged children living on the periphery. It will enable us to
exponentially increase the number of children we directly serve and make our
database of resources available to an even larger audience of those in need
through the Internet under one coordinated umbrella …connecting the need
to the remedy globally.
