CLIENT SUMMARY
Red Mountain Grace is a nonprofit organization that exists to impact families coming to Birmingham for extended medical treatment through gracious hospitality. They do this by providing clean, safe, and affordable
housing to out-of-town patients and caregivers. Founded in 2013 with just one apartment, RMG now operates 20 apartments leased and managed for only $20/night, alleviating the financial burden of housing while families receive care. Faith-driven and community-powered, RMG is distinguished by its Gospel mindset, hospitality-first posture, and scalable model of service. With recent growth and a goal of expanding to 30 apartments within the next 2 years, RMG is now poised to deepen its impact and lay the groundwork for replication in other cities. Red Mountain Grace believes everyone should experience grace during life’s most challenging moments.
