The Gala is one night. The work happens every day. Infinite Grace Foundation is built on a simple belief: that every human being deserves love, dignity, purpose, opportunity and the chance to transform their life.
The Foundation does not work with only one community or one issue. Its work spans mental health, education, prison rehabilitation, underserved communities, humanitarian relief, youth development, vocational opportunity and human transformation — trying not only to ask “how can we help someone today?” but also “what would help this person rise tomorrow?” The hope is to build programmes, systems and pathways that do more than provide temporary relief: to intervene earlier, create opportunity, restore dignity and help people build lives they can believe in.
Second chances
For almost 12 years, prison rehabilitation has been one of the deepest parts of this work — with men, women, mothers and children within Sri Lanka’s prison system, through education, rehabilitation, mental wellbeing, family connection, skills development, employability and reintegration. A human being should never be defined solely by the worst decision they have made. The goal is not simply to help someone survive prison, but to help them return to society with dignity, skills, confidence and something meaningful to return to.
Reaching young people earlier
Years of working within prisons led to another question: what if people could be reached earlier? Young people were struggling with anxiety, pressure, loneliness and emotional distress, which is part of why I SEE YOU, the national mental health and human connection movement, was created. Through a five pillar school programme, young people gain practical tools to understand themselves, regulate emotions, build resilience, navigate relationships, develop empathy, recognise when they need help and, most importantly, believe that difficult circumstances do not have to define what comes next. At its heart, every person deserves to feel seen, heard, valued and reminded that they matter.
Taking wellbeing into communities
In July 2026, more than 1,500 people joined Sri Lanka’s first completely free Mental Health and Wellbeing Carnival in Galle. Across approximately 36 free experiences, people could explore different pathways to wellbeing, including professional mental health support, movement, creativity, mindfulness, conversation, family activities and human connection. There is no single pathway to healing — for one person it may begin with therapy, for another, movement, for another, creativity, and for someone else, simply realising they are not alone.
Wings of Grace
The Wings of Grace Learning Bus is being developed to take education directly into underserved tea estate communities, focusing particularly on O Level Mathematics, Science and English, while also giving young people tools in digital and financial literacy, communication, life skills, confidence, resilience and personal development. Impact should not simply mean saying “we taught children” — it should mean asking whether their lives actually changed because we were there.
When people need us now
Not every form of impact takes years — sometimes people simply need someone to show up today. Following Cyclone Ditwah, Infinite Grace Foundation and its partners mobilised support for approximately 1,500 affected families: responding with compassion in moments of immediate need, while continuing to build longer-term pathways towards transformation.
So where does your ticket go?
Your ticket helps support the wider ecosystem being built, including:
- ✦Mental health education in schools
- ✦Free community wellbeing initiatives
- ✦Prison rehabilitation and reintegration
- ✦Wings of Grace and O Level education
- ✦Tea estate education and vocational pathways
- ✦Professional mental health referral and support pathways
- ✦I SEE YOU conversations, community programmes and future Carnivals
- ✦Humanitarian response
- ✦Second chance employment and livelihood opportunities
- ✦Research and impact measurement
The Gala brings together the funding, relationships, partnerships and visibility needed to help all of this grow. And there is one thing that matters deeply: the programmes provided to the communities served should remain free and accessible, because mental wellbeing, education, dignity, opportunity and hope should never belong only to those who can afford them.
So when you purchase a ticket, you are not simply buying dinner, music or entertainment. You are helping someone else rise. You are helping reach a young person earlier. Give someone a second chance. Take education somewhere it may not otherwise reach. Create a safe space for somebody who is struggling. And remind another human being that their story is not over.
On 13 September 2026, come for one extraordinary night. And help us make what comes after possible. I SEE YOU.
