Grace Mar Services Inc, started out as a nonprofit housing counseling organization, was founded by Kenneth and Grace Smith in 2009. Kenneth named the organization after his wife Grace and his mother Margaret. The agency’s goal was to help individuals and families improve social and economic mobility. The agency received its first charitable donation from Regions Bank for $150 in 2010. Ten years later the agency received a $1.5 million grant from the US Department of Labor. Today Grace Mar is a combination of several companies including: a software company, a training division and a consulting firm. These companies continue to serve individuals, families, and communities in the areas of workforce development and economic growth and mobility.
