Grandparent Legacy Project

I recently learned of a very exciting and important initiative called the Grandparent Legacy Project.

While their focus is apparently on the wealthier segment of society, the message of legacy transference is very similar to Priceless Legacy's. I have reached out to the leadership of the GLP. There are bound to be useful ways that we can work together for our common aim.

The GLP has books and other resources available at their website.
