Grants and Scholarships

The Jonathan Foundation Grant

Sharon Sanden Transition to Adulthood Scholarship

Kathy Platt Loving Care Scholarship

Amazing Grace Advocacy has received funding to support our Job Skills Junction Summer Program for High School Students with Disabilities.

The Jonathan  Foundation was created for the legacy of Jonathan Thacker. In 2008 Jonathan’s story ended with a tragic car accident at the age of 10-years old, but it was not without completion. His life had perfect completion as he left this world and entered into the arms of Jesus Christ where he is enjoying the eternal rewards promised to him by his Savior. It’s an ending that Jonathan would want for everyone. 

The primary goal of The Jonathan Foundation is to give hope to children in need.  Since 2011, The Jonathan Foundation has gifted over $50,000 in community grants, outreach, and student scholarships.  We have also invested over $65,000 to ensure the foundation’s future growth and outreach.

Sharon Sanden passed away in 2020 and was a strong supporter of Amazing Grace Advocacy.  Sharon contributed to our Summer Program for several years and we especially enjoyed the seashells that she collected and cleaned for our projects.


Sharon had incredible compassion for children with disabilities and her Grandson Trevor who has beat all the odds with his disabilities.  Her enthusiasm and encouragement is a legacy that her family and friends desire to honor.


We have established the Sharon Sanden Scholarship to fund High School Students with Disabilities to attend our Transition to Adulthood Program at no cost.

Julia Beatrice Burris Brown passed away on March 5, 2020 she was born in Concord, N.C. 


Julia loved people of all ages and her smile and inviting personality will long be remembered. She was employed by the

Cabarrus County Schools as a teacher assistant for Exceptional Children.


She entered the program when it was in the early stages working her years at Hartsell School and Long School. Although these years were technically a job, for her it

was more than that, it was her passion. She formed relationships with many of her students that continued long after her

years in the classroom ended.


Julia's family and friends have started a scholarship in her name to provide summer programs for Exceptional Children  to attend Amazing Grace Advocacy Summer Programs at no cost.
