My Girlfriend's House is a non-profit organization that provides year-round mentoring and scholarship assistance to teenage girls living in foster care, homeless and underserved communities. To date, the majority of MGH's funding has been attained through private dollar donations and we have yet to tap into the larger resources of foundations and other public grant opportunities. We are looking for someone willing to assist us in identifying, qualifying and applying for grant program dollars in order to impact even more young lives. Our program has been positively impacting the lives of young girls for over 10 years and with additional funding, we can continue to share their success stories, impact more lives and meet our mission.
