Help Grant Blvd Improve Security & Plan New Space

We have only ONE month to raise the seed money to improve security at Grant Blvd’s storefront after an act of random vandalism AND to develop our new Kensington design studio!

The first week of the year our storefront was vandalized and it increased our need to address security concerns. As a brick & mortar we are at the frontline of our mental health crisis and we need to immediately purchase an improved security system and new technology. We’ve unfortunately had to ask for police interventions on three occasions now without significant escalation, but that means we need to approach safety differently.

We are committed to staying open and your contribution will help us do that with better security. But additionally, your support will help us to launch our new design studio in Kensington. We’re raising funds to outfit our new, much larger manufacturing space with furnishings, new digital technology to help with our production process, and to make it a state of the art space through the support of several super talented locals.

It doesn’t look like much now, but together we can build a studio that helps us to achieve our vision of not only redirecting the fashion industry away from human and environmental harm, but for creating more living wage work opportunities for the city of Philadelphia. This move is HUGE and our vision for increasing our capacity is so important!

Your investment in this moment of our journey as a business is both powerful and important. It affirms that the mission of Grant Blvd is resonating with you and that you want to do your part to see it meets its potential. It says that you want to see us move forward. It says that you’re not ready to see this ambitious project stop, it also says that you want us to keep going! Thank you in advance for continuing to rock with us. We can’t wait to welcome you into our new, much larger home! Here’s how it will be used:

1. Retail security concerns (cameras, lighting, additional staffing hours)

2. New studio needs= furniture, interior design elements, space beautification, technology for design, supplies for production

Will you please consider donating today to our fundraiser to help secure our small business & to create more living wage work for our community?
