About Us
Driven by a profound commitment and an expansive mission, the genesis of Granted was significantly influenced by a devastating EF-5 tornado that struck our Founder’s hometown of Joplin, MO in 2011. The impact of this catastrophe served as the catalyst for our origin and ongoing dedication to assisting communities and economic recovery and development.
