It is in this spirit of humanity that Grace A Mano proudly commits to the donation of portioned proceeds generated from the sales of our jewelry to nonprofit organizations both locally and across the United States. Each cause has been carefully chosen as a reflection of personal importance and with consideration to the effectiveness in which these charities present and execute their services. We all have gifts, skills, material resources, and opportunities; things we consider ourselves privileged to hold. When we start to use these elements as tools to facilitate giving, we deepen our understanding of the integral part we play in the world that surrounds us.

Sharing individual and collaborative jewelry creations with others was the motivation that had always sustained Grace A Mano founder Erinn Tichenor. Personal growth, the passage of time, and a change in circumstances, however, had its way with the adjustment of her priorities. As Erinn began facilitating the growth of her young boys in to young men and societal contributors, she intuitively wondered what else she could be doing to instill strong, unshakable values into their impressionable hearts and minds.  Undoubtedly, gratitude, humility, kindness, selflessness, and generosity are some of the most valuable of all human traits. These are the attributes that sustain personal fulfillment and by placing these into the forefront of her motivation, she is setting the example for her boys that only action can afford.
