About Us
The Emma Grace Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization in Columbus, IN. The foundation was formed in memory of 2 year old Emma Sweet who went missing and was found in the White River during Thanksgiving weekend in 2021. Emma touched the lives of many people in her short 2 years here on Earth. Emma was a pageant princess who enjoyed modeling, wearing her croc's, dancing, and wearing her hair in pigtails.
The foundation serves as a lasting memory of Emma by supporting children and families in our community and spreading love and happiness. The foundation also serves as a "thank you" to all the first responders and community that supported Emma's family by giving back to those agencies as well.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help children and families thrive to be the best they can by giving each child and family the opportunity to grow, be a part of community events, and have joy regardless of their circumstances.
