​Our Story

Ken Grace, founder of Financial Architects, Inc., and President of Financial Architects Foundation,  has been actively engaged with foundations who serve families living in poverty since the 1980's. In 2015 partnering with organizations that benefit children with life threatening illnesses became extremely important.  It was at that time, that his 5 year old grandson, Jameson was diagnosed with a rare and very high risk form of Leukemia.  Jameson's mom, Melissa Scheib, has worked with Financial Architects since 1998 and is Treasurer of the Foundation. They experienced first hand how these organizations can help.  For example:
​

• Angels of Hope with financial assistance;
• Leukemia & Lymphoma Society with research funding; and
• Make-A-Wish and Camp Casey that bring joy and fun to kids and their families.

Knowing they wanted to find a way to help other families like theirs they collaborated with Chris Cousins, an owner of Financial Architects, Inc. and a Chartered Advisor of Philanthropy,  to create this foundation.
