Dedicated to fostering positive change, the Grace Bay Resorts Community Foundation enhances the quality of life in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Through local partnerships, we promote social well-being, environmental sustainability, and education. Corporate social responsibility is central to our mission, ensuring our operations contribute meaningfully to the community and environment. To support our local community, a $5 contribution will be added to all guest stays. If you wish to opt out, our guest services team can remove this from your bill.
We focus on initiatives that directly benefit the people of Turks and Caicos, guided by three core pillars:
At Grace Bay Resorts, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is realized through our commitment to empower communities and protect Mother Earth. CSR is an integral part of our business model as we continue to make impactful actions that address key social and environmental challenges.
We are passionate about creating long-term, sustainable programs which will benefit everyone as well as promote sustainable travel and tourism practices to better preserve the planet we live in.
The Grace Bay Resorts Community Foundation sponsors students looking to continue their studies who may not otherwise have the resources to do so. We provide scholarships to those students who demonstrate a desire to succeed, particularly young people who combine a dedication to academics with a commitment to their community. We also assist in identifying local talent who may benefit from educational assistance to achieve their goals.
Like us, many visitors to Turks and Caicos have the desire to give back and support the future of the Islands with the best investment possible: a good education. Our guests regularly contribute to our Foundation and support our fundraising efforts throughout the year, and for that we are profoundly grateful.
Our commitment to our community is further demonstrated by our participation in the Little Chef’s Program, which trains talented, dedicated youth from the Islands for careers in restaurant and hospitality industry. Through internships, high-school students gain experience at our resort as they work towards completing their studies in the culinary arts.
Advancing literacy programs, United Way TCI empowers communities by providing essential resources, educational opportunities, and support for lifelong learning.
Dedicated to protecting and restoring our marine environment, the Turks and Caicos Reef Fund supports coral reef conservation, marine research, and education initiatives.
We aim to boost employment, hiring a majority of locals to form our team. We also have a special training and employment program for those with minor to moderate physical and mental disabilities, helping them to build confidence, sustain themselves and lead more meaningful lives.
We work closely with local organizations at the grassroots level, helping to build a solid foundation with our regular social awareness campaigns. Along with annual visits to charity homes during festive seasons and more on-ground activities, we are committed to helping develop a better tomorrow for future generations.
Eco-friendly initiatives are implemented in all our hotels with an aim to reduce wastage of precious natural resources and avoiding unnecessary harm to the environment while leaving the lightest possible footprint in course of our daily operations.
