What Here for the Girls, Inc. does

Here for the Girls, Inc. (H4TG) is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 26-0606190) founded in 2007 and headquartered at 3709 Strawberry Plains Rd., Suite D, Williamsburg, Virginia. The organization provides social-emotional support, education, and community to women under 50 diagnosed with breast cancer, operating a trauma-informed, peer-based support model rather than a clinical or product-led one. Its core offerings include the Member Hub online community portal (built on Microsoft PowerApps with Google, Azure AD, and Microsoft SSO), peer-led monthly support groups facilitated by trained volunteers, the H4TG Counseling Services telehealth pilot launched in October 2024, Breast Cancer 101 and "A Guide to Caring for Yourself" educational resources in English and Spanish, caregiver resources, the In Our Hearts remembrance program, and signature events including the annual Run for the Hills 5K/10K and Pink Carpet Gala alongside the "A Calendar to Live By" fundraising publication.

H4TG employs 13 people and operates primarily in Virginia, with a counseling site in Richmond supplementing the Williamsburg headquarters. Core member services are provided free of charge; the counseling program charges $125-$160 per session and accepts Anthem, BCBS, Cigna, Evernorth, Sentara, United Healthcare, Aetna, Medicare, and Tricare, with insurance not accepted for couples/family sessions. The organization's business model is donation- and event-driven, with five documented revenue streams: individual donations, monthly sustainer program, event fundraising, corporate sponsorships, and merchandise sales through the H4TG retail store, processed via Classy.org. The fee-based counseling pilot launched in 2024 represents H4TG's first material non-donation revenue line and a strategic shift toward service-based sustainability. H4TG holds no patents, discloses no AI capabilities, and operates without identified institutional investors or parent company; ownership follows standard nonprofit governance with a board of directors and community supporters.
