Patrice Pike

Patrice is an Austin musician and founder of the Grace Foundation of Austin - a community-based organization dedicated to helping provide healthcare, education, career training and job placement to young adults who have survived homelessness.

The Grace Foundation is a nonprofit organization aimed at helping individuals whose lives have been affected by abuse and poverty, causing them to become homeless at a young age. This choice affects their ability to stay in school, maintain proper health, make a consistent income and contribute to society in a positive manner.

The Grace Foundation helps young adults who have demonstrated a desire to leave the streets in order to begin cultivating a more fulfilling life. By partnering with other organizations the Grace Foundation is able to provide multiple avenues for job placement, career training, college funding and health and dental treatment.
