Approved for Implementation of the Office of Refugee Resettlement,

Matching Grant Progam

From May 2022 through June 2025, the Grace Initiative Global implemented an Office of Refugee Resettlement Matching Grant (MG) program. This program was highly successful because the focus was on economic self-sufficiency. Newcomers did not receive cash assistance but rather intensive job training and placement, English Language Learning, Cultural orientation and guidance for working and living and contributing in and to the United States. After 240 days, all enrollees in the Grace Initiative program achieved economic self-sufficiency, meaning that they could pay their bills, work full time, and not be reliant on economic support services.
