We’re Almost There!
Our BUILD THE HOUSE campaign is so close! Thank you so much! Our year zero $50,000 goal is 100% for programming. This amount will allow us to secure our first year of FOUND Camp, begin our artist-in-residence online series, and allow us to give grants in year one. Stay tuned for our strategic plan.
Gracie Grants
Do you run an organization that is welcoming to LGBTQ+ youth and their families? Are you a community center that wants to expand your reach to families like ours? Are you serving LGBTQ+ youth in a rural area?
Creative Expression
At Gracie’s House, we believe in the power of creative expression as a tool for healing and growth. Through our arts programs, LGBTQ+ youth and their families can explore their identities and share their stories through various artistic mediums.

FOUND Camp
Gracie’s House will be partnering with our favorite award-winning camp in Berks County, PA to offer a Safe Space Summer Camp for the first time in our area. Sleep under the stars! Learn about Nature! Swim, climb, zip-line, create, and learn in a safe and nurturing space!
Our goal is to run a week of sleepaway camp for LGBTQ+ youth starting in 2025 or 2026. No waiting lists. No applications. A tiered fee program and scholarships to allow access to camp for all.
FOUND Family Weekends
One of the most important foundations of LGBTQ+ joy is found family.
Gracie’s House will run FOUND Family camp weekends during off-season times like late spring and early fall. We might even get together in winter for a chilly hike and a campfire!
Families of LGBTQ+ youth are invited to come to camp and connect with other families like theirs, expanding their FOUND family, and connecting to community in new ways.
We’ll have FOUND merch, FOUND games, and FOUND fun.
The bigger the family, the safer the space.
