The power of circular philanthropy
In 2018, Sharon Prince served on the jury of the American Institute of Architects' Honor Awards. Among the winning projects was the Gohar Khatoon Girls' School in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan, which earned plaudits for its design aesthetic and social impact. During the selection process, Prince posed a simple yet provocative question: Were any of the building's bricks made by children? It was a question the jury members hadn't considered. In fact, it even took Prince by surprise. 'All of a sudden, the light bulb went on for me, too,' she says. 'I thought, Wait a minute, I don't know where all of my own building materials come from.' Prince is the CEO and founder of Grace Farms Foundation, a nonprofit that operates an 80-acre cultural and humanitarian center in New Canaan, Connecticut. The previous year, Grace Farms had won an American Institute of Architects (AIA) Honor Award for its striking River building, a winding, multipurpose structure that world-renowned architecture firm SANAA gently wove into the property's natural landscape. Prince's question to the AIA jury sparked more questions, this time for her partners on the River building, as well as the AIA's president and several other leaders in the building materials industry. None had ever questioned how the copper, concrete, lumber, and other products they used were made—or who was making them. These conversations were the genesis of Design for Freedom, an initiative launched by Grace Farms in 2020 that aims to eliminate forced labor in the building materials supply chain. The movement engages industry stakeholders—from architects and engineers to manufacturers and contractors—to more closely scrutinize their supply chains. 'Until we can actually have transparency and know whether or not there is forced labor subsidizing our buildings, then there is a high risk that it is,' Prince says. BRINGING COMMUNITY TOGETHER At Grace Farms, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025, thoughtful design and humanitarian work have always been at the center of its operating philosophy. The center in New Canaan gives the public opportunities to experience nature, admire the architecture of the River building, and enjoy the ever-changing public programs. They can visit the center to attend a workshop on starting a beehive, listen to a celebrated jazz musician, or simply join in a community gathering. Grace Farms' work doesn't stop at the borders of its 80-acre property. In 2021, the organization launched Grace Farms Tea & Coffee, a Certified B Corp that gives 100% of its profits to support the work of Design for Freedom. The company grew out of the tea and coffee that Grace Farms served to its visitors, which was all ethically sourced from sustainable growers around the world. Grace Farms started getting calls from out-of-towners who had visited and wanted to know where they could buy the beverages they'd tasted. Then, the pandemic hit, and Grace Farms saw an opportunity. 'When Grace Farms couldn't be open to the public, we were doing other humanitarian work in the community,' says Adam Thatcher, cofounder and CEO of Grace Farms Tea & Coffee. 'But a big part of [our mission] is bringing community together. So, we said, 'What if we bring this to the community?' ' The tea and coffee sourced by Grace Farms is certified organic. The company is the only U.S.-based tea company to partner with Fairtrade International, a nonprofit that aims to support farmers and growers worldwide through fair-trade practices. Meanwhile, Grace Farms' coffee comes from women-led growing co-ops based in Ethiopia, Colombia, and Indonesia. That was an important criterion for Prince and Thatcher, in large part because their research showed that women are disproportionately represented among ownership or management positions in the global coffee supply chain. 'One of our goals was to not only make a delicious product but also make a product that aligns with our values and can demonstrate ethical and sustainable supply chains,' Thatcher says. A CIRCLE FOR GOOD None of Grace Farms' initiatives exist in a vacuum. At the New Canaan property, visitors might sip a cup of tea while learning about fair-trade practices and directly supporting the work of Design for Freedom. 'This is an illustration of circular philanthropy,' Prince says. 'We are creating a link between a non-profit organization and a for-profit Certified B Corp that is an engine for good. This connection creates impacts on the entire supply chain—from the farmers to the manufacturers to the public—and supports the foundation's work to eliminate forced labor from the building materials supply chain.' Even thoughtful design plays a role in Grace Farms' approach to circular philanthropy. Whether it's the River building or the Design for Freedom pilot projects—which range from a public library in Montana to a monument to Harriet Tubman in Newark, New Jersey—good design draws more people to hear the movement's message. 'Beauty becomes an invitation for people,' Thatcher says. 'It's like a flower: Flowers are beautiful, but their real purpose is to attract bees and pollinators that then go out into the world and continue pollinating and making the world a more green, beautiful place.'
