The Greatest Investment Girls Empowerment Program

What The Greatest Investment Girls Empowerment Program does

The Greatest Investment Girls Empowerment Program (TGI) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2010 and headquartered in Orlando, Florida. TGI's core mission is to educate and empower girls and young women ages 12-18, primarily from Central Florida's high-priority communities such as Paramore and Pine Hills, through a portfolio of nine distinct programs including a flagship four-week free summer camp held at UCF Downtown, a College & Career Prep Program, a Mental Health Initiative, Monthly Enrichment Workshops, after-school programming at partner high schools (Jones HS, Evans HS, OCPS A.C.E.), Mentor Match one-on-one mentorship, a Life Series for alumnae ages 18-28, a Young Moms Parent Development Series, and an entrepreneurial challenge called TGI Tank. The organization reports it has positively impacted more than 450 young ladies over 15 years, with alumnae networks extending to South Africa and Haiti.

TGI is funded entirely through donations, corporate sponsorships, in-kind contributions, and PAC memberships; it charges participants nothing for its core programs. Sponsorship tiers range from $5,000 to $50,000, individual giving is structured at preset amounts of $25-$500 with recurring options, and the new Parent Advisory Committee (launching Fall 2025) charges a $25 annual fee plus a $20 service shirt. The organization is governed by a seven-member Board of Directors led by Founder/Board Chair Nadine Mentor Williams and operated by a small staff team led by Executive Director Taylor Presha, with curriculum, logistics, student engagement, and intern support functions. There is no proprietary technology platform; program delivery is in-person and supplemented by a Squarespace website, Instagram (@i_am_tgi), and Google Forms for applications. Earned media coverage from WFTV, News 6, News 13, and WESH 2 between 2019-2023 provides regional visibility, and the website states a goal of doubling the number of young ladies entering leadership within three years.
