You have ConverterParameter inside your binding, where you can use another binding with ElementName of your grid.

<Grid Name="MainGrid3"></Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding SomeBinding, Converter={StaticResource SomeConverter}, 
           ConverterParameter={Binding ElementName=MainGrid3}}"></TextBlock>

Edit: Ok, so apparently I was wrong, you can't use bindings inside ConverterParameter as it is not a dependency property. Working solution would be to use x:Reference like so:

<Grid Name="MainGrid3"></Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding SomeBinding, Converter={StaticResource SomeConverter}, 
           ConverterParameter={x:Reference Name=MainGrid3}}"></TextBlock>

    "where you can use another binding with ElementName". Not true, because the ConverterParameter property of a Binding is not a dependency property, and hence can't be bound. See here: stackoverflow.com/a/15309844/1136211
