About Us

The IV & Grace Foundation was inspired by two young hearts with a desire to give, serve, and make others feel seen. What began with compassion from Willie IV and Willow Grace has grown into a foundation focused on literacy, emotional wellness, service, and youth leadership.

Through community projects, book drops, hospital donations, awareness campaigns, and service opportunities, we are teaching children that kindness matters and that even the smallest hearts can make a big impact.

  • The IV & Grace Foundation empowers children through literacy, emotional wellness, kindness, and community service, inspiring young people to use their voices, embrace their feelings, and create positive change in the world.

  • To create a generation of compassionate, confident, and emotionally healthy young leaders who understand the power of kindness, service, and using their gifts to help others.

  • Compassion

    We believe every child deserves to feel seen, heard, valued, and supported.

    Kindness

    Small acts of kindness can create a lasting impact in the lives of others.

    Service

    We encourage children to discover the joy and responsibility of giving back to their communities.

    Courage

    We empower children to embrace their feelings, use their voices, and face challenges with confidence.

    Leadership

    We believe children are capable of leading meaningful change regardless of age.
