Grace Roots is a 509 (a) (2) charity under the Internal Revenue Code. A 509 (a) (2) is a type of 501 (c) (3). They are both public charities. The primary difference between Grace Roots and other Christian charities with a 501 (c) (3) designation is that Grace Roots collects most of its revenue through events which are then used to support Gospel transformation in under-resourced places.
