Our Values
What we hold close
Connection
At the core of our strength is the ability to accept, connect with, and uplift other people of all identities, fostering compassionate, peaceful communities.
Collaboration
Working together is the only path toward change, to build sustainable peace and support women entrepreneurs.
Empowerment
Through entrepreneurship and Peace Education, we equip people with the knowledge and skills to take their businesses, and communities, to new heights.
Resurrection
Our lives move through stages. We are constantly growing wiser, embracing our imperfection and beginning new chapters.
What We Do
Women Entrepreneurship & Peace Education
Our Aspiring Entrepreneur program supports women, with a soft spot on those in the healing arts, as they pursue their passions, while strengthening collaboration. It's conducted as a collective, engaging each individual's voice and demonstrating the power of “WE.”
Our Peace Education programs, also operating as a collective, center on our “Peace Payoff” framework.
In Loving Memory
About Anne
Anne McNicholas-Giangrasse was so inspiring that Anne's Haven was founded in her name and memory by her daughter Janet.
Born on March 14th, 1926, Anne was strong, independent, intelligent, clever, creative, and a most devoted and loving mother. She was an eternal source of inspiration for what women should expect from life, as well as from themselves.
Anne's Haven is a tribute to Anne's life and the legacy of what she envisioned, a life without barriers for women, where each individual can thrive in peaceful and just communities. Anne's passion for peace was inherent, given her Irish heritage.
Received the ‘Unsung Heroine Award’ posthumously in 2019
