OUR IMPACT FORECAST: BUILDING SUCCESS BEYOND THE NUMBERS
Community Connection & Awareness
Visibility & Recognition: Increased awareness elevates our story, helping more families throughout the San Antonio-metropolitan area discover that our mentors, #TheCommunityGodmothers, exist as a resource. Success means parents knowing where to turn when their daughters need support, and young women seeing representation in leadership.
Network Expansion: Connecting with other community organizations, school districts, corporate partners, and individual supporters who share our commitment to investing in the futures of our youth. We measure success by new relationships that extend our impact beyond single initiatives.
Program Impact Acceleration
Waitlist Elimination: Success means moving all girls from our charm school waitlist into programming immediately, plus having capacity for the inevitable new applications that community awareness brings.
Resource Security: Beyond meeting our current needs, success means establishing sustainability — having supplies, venue deposits, and emergency reserves that let us say "yes" to opportunities rather than scrambling for basic resources.
Organizational Growth & Stability
Infrastructure Development: Our success positions us closer to our dream of a permanent physical location — the "TCG Clubhouse" where our girls can gather year-round, where workshops happen consistently, and where our direct community knows they can find support, assistance, and resources.
Systems Strengthening: Enhanced capacity to track outcomes, communicate impact, and scale programming without losing the personal touch that makes our sisterhood authentic.
Cultural & Generational Impact
Narrative Shifting: Success means our girls seeing themselves celebrated in community conversations, understanding that their excellence is worthy of investment and community support.
Ripple Effects: Current participants becoming advocates who share our story authentically, creating organic growth and community trust that resources alone cannot buy.
Mentorship Pipeline: Connecting with successful women who can provide career guidance, scholarship opportunities, and real-world networking for our participants.
Long-Term Vision Advancement
Movement Building: Success means being recognized as a model for community-based youth development, potentially inspiring similar programs in other cities.
Policy Influence: Having a platform to advocate for systemic changes that support young women, from education policy to resource allocation in underserved communities.
Generational Wealth Creation: Success includes our alumni becoming donors and leaders themselves, creating a sustainable cycle of community investment.
Measurement Beyond Money
- New partnerships with HBCU campuses, local businesses, school districts, and community leaders
- Media coverage that authentically represents our work and participants
- Volunteer recruitment from diverse community sectors
- Alumni engagement from girls who've aged out of programming
- Family involvement from parents and guardians who become advocates
- Recognition that positions us for additional grants and opportunities throughout the year
The Ultimate Success Indicator
Our impact succeeds when our girls walk into any space — scholarship interviews, college campuses, job opportunities, community leadership roles — with the unshakeable confidence that they belong there. When they carry themselves with the knowledge that their community invested in their excellence, and they feel responsible for continuing that legacy.
Success is seeing our participants understand that they're not charity cases or statistics to be helped — they're assets to be developed, leaders to be cultivated, and change-makers whose success benefits everyone.
That's what true impact looks like for This Is 4 My Girlz, Inc.: not just girls who received support, but young women who know they're worthy of investment and capable of beating the odds and transforming the world.

Community Impact
Our approach strengthens entire families and neighborhoods. When young women thrive, they lift their communities with them.
Generational Impact
The skills, confidence, and networks our participants gain create ripple effects that benefit their future families and the next generation of leaders.
Systemic Impact
By developing confident, capable young women who understand their worth, we're actively working to change systems and structures that have historically limited opportunities.
