Every great change begins with one dedicated person
In 2014, Dinese Hannewald founded the non-profit company Grace Impact to support and promote projects and companies that wish to make the world a better place.
Grace Impact invests in three core areas as defined by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”):
“Clean water and Sanitation” (6)
“Health and Welfare” (3)
“Quality Education” (4)
Our regional focus: Africa, Europe and North America.
In order to qualify for a grant, a loan or an equity investment by Grace Impact, the project must fulfil three conditions:
Firstly – the product/service aims to be accessible to all people. Secondly – the product/service is affordable for the local population. And thirdly, the project/company has a business model that will eventually reach sustainability. Grace Impact offers a lot more than money. In addition to providing grants, sponsorships, loans and equity investments, Grace Impact supports projects/companies with consulting and hand-ons management tasks by offering these important in-house skills. We actively supervise and monitor our projects and companies and keep our partners and supporters informed.

Let’s work together!
Dedication and commitment for a better world
Grace Impact works to improve lives of people, especially those who have been marginalized in society.
With Grace Impact, Dinese Hannewald uses her long-standing experience in evaluating, financing, managing and monitoring companies. She works to catalyze collaborations within the social impact and philanthropic sectors for a positive sustainable change in society.
Grace Impact is looking for partners who want to invest their money with heart, compassion and reason. Together we can create positive social and environmental changes. Together we can accelerate projects’ growth with scalable solutions. Together via meaningful and professional collaborations, we can avoid useless duplication and create a greater more successful and sustainable social impact.
Our Mission
Support projects, companies and NGOs, both for-profit and non-profit, that focus on solutions targeting the United Nations’ “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs).
Contribute to empowering marginalized and disenfranchised communities throughout the world and improve society-at-large.
Support successful business models that can be easily duplicated with layered capital, thereby accelerating growth, sustainability and a large social impact.
Every individual contribution counts.
But only together CAN we achieve more.
Grace Impact understands that the majority of SDGs cannot be cannot be solved by governments, private enterprises or charitable organizations alone. Rather, all of these groups need to work together in concert to achieve a sustainable success.
Grace Impact makes an important contribution to the philanthropic and social impact sectors with an aim to establish peaceful, healthier initiatives with complementary parties contributing know-how, patience, courage, and personal commitment. Please join us!
“If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.”
Investments
Our goal is to position our projects to succeed.
The social impact sector needs far more success stories. In order to mobilize an entire range of investors, ongoing projects and initiatives that show continuous growth and stability are required.
Grace Impact’s objective, along with others, is to reduce investment risk exposure within the social impact sector. For this reason, we prefer to support and work with companies that are in the development and growth phases, rather than brand new start ups. We emphasize the importance of establishing partnerships and cooperations to accelerate growth and sustainability. By working together to solve the same common objective, we have a far greater chance to ensure a positive social impact and a financial return.
We offer financial and hands-on support
We provide:
- grants
- loans
- direct equity investments
Grace Impact remains informed on the company’s or project’s development and ensures that its milestones are on track. We are an active participant in all of our projects either as a member of management, board member or advisor.
