TGI is more than just a program that gives away money – we’re changing the world one grant at a time.

Being a youth in the world, I feel like my opinion doesn’t matter because we are “little kids,” but having the opportunity to participate in TGI makes me feel like my opinion matters. I believe the future is in the hands of the youth – what we give is what we get back.
