About Us
Gratia Foundation
Gratia Foundation, a division of the Blue Hope Performance Lab, serves several distinct ‘communities’ of people and provides community focused solutions. By either direct intervention or ‘pulling alongside’ existing community groups, Gratia can bring hope and tangible change to those who need it most, offering a powerful counterbalance to the pervasive sense of indifference and hopelessness that often defines these spaces. Gratia Foundation's mission of directly addressing the needs of these diverse groups reflects a deeply rooted commitment to transformation. The solutions vary with the communities that Gratia serves.

How it started
Many years ago Blue Hope Advisory, an advisory and business management consulting group, was started to help companies reinstitute organizational health and increase performance capacity. As part of that work, Blue Hope Advisory focused heavily on helping clients to develop human-centric leadership teams that drive positive results - the kind that improves bottom lines and create desired value their stakeholders. For almost a decade, Blue Hope Advisory has been deeply committed to effecting lasting change through our client work to expand the human potential and to create a better performance future for their organizations.
However, the members of Blue Hope Advisory wanted to do more. So, in late 2023 they founded the nonprofit 501(c)(3) Blue Hope Performance Lab, Inc. and Gratia Foundation (a division of Blue Hope Performance Lab). From inception, their intent has been to ignite purpose, transform lives, and reshape communities. This new entity serves two different sets of clients providing business management solutions for one set and community focused solutions for the other set of clients.
Our Approach
We utilize an approach that presents two related service offerings to two different clients sets to realize our singular vision. As part of this approach, we try to create multiple streams of financial support for BHPL & GF - fee for services and donations for GF projects. Profits from all fees where clients remunerate BHPL for our business management services and any donations are contributed to the material support of Gratia Foundation’s clients and projects.
Blue Hope Performance Lab
The Blue Hope Performance Lab offers the other set of clients, consisting of business management and leadership development clients, human-centric business management solutions and human-centric leadership development solutions. These solutions help high-growth companies to increase their leadership performance and further evolve organizational health and capacity in their business for their stakeholders.
