Social Impact Entrepreneur & Ethical Design Advocate; CEO & Founder of Grace Farms Foundation; Creator of Design for Freedom Movement
Sharon Prince Biography
Sharon Prince is the CEO and founder of Grace Farms Foundation, a public space in New Canaan, Connecticut, that advances humanitarian and cultural initiatives locally and globally. Prince commissioned SANAA architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, recipients of the Pritzker Prize, to design Grace Farms. The River building, known for its open architecture, is integrated into 80 acres of biodiverse landscapes.
Grace Farms serves as the platform for the foundation’s interdisciplinary mission to pursue peace through nature, arts, justice, community, faith, and Design for Freedom—a global movement to eliminate forced labor from the building materials supply chain. Through her work with the foundation, Prince has addressed issues such as child exploitation, human trafficking, and violence against women on local, national, and international levels. She co-hosted a convening with United Nations University titled "Fighting Human Trafficking in Conflict," which led to a published report to the United Nations Security Council and contributed to UN Resolution 2331. Prince has received the Auburn Seminary Lives of Commitment Award and the NOMI Network Abolitionist Award for her humanitarian efforts.
After identifying the lack of attention to exploitation in the building materials supply chain, Prince formed the Design for Freedom Working Group. More than 100 experts and leaders from sectors influencing the built environment have joined the Design for Freedom movement. Prince published the "Design for Freedom Report," followed by the "Design for Freedom Toolkit," pilot projects, and annual Design for Freedom Summits at Grace Farms. She has received the NYC Visionary Award from AIA-NY and the Center for Architecture, the CEO Forum Transformative CEO Award, and was recognized by Fast Company in its list of the Most Creative People in Business.
Grace Farms has received awards for architecture, environmental sustainability, and social good, including the AIA National Architecture Honor Award, Fast Company Innovation by Design Award for Social Good, and the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize from Illinois Institute of Technology. Prince was appointed to the AIA Institute Honor Awards for Architecture Jury and joined the board of directors at MASS Design Group, expanding her influence in ethical design and social impact.
Prince is the co-founder of Grace Farms Tea & Coffee, which offers ethically and sustainably sourced coffees and teas. Grace Farms operates as a nonprofit-owned certified B Corp, with all profits from Grace Farms Foods supporting the Design for Freedom movement. Grace Farms Tea & Coffee has introduced its Wellness Teas into 26 Whole Foods Markets, promoting ethical sourcing to consumers. As a speaker and social impact entrepreneur, Prince addresses topics at the intersection of business, design, and philanthropy, advocating for ethical supply chains and social responsibility in the built environment.
