Vision for the future of GVGCs:
​
Our hope is to evolve these GVGCs and to replicate them in many locations around the country, each locally run and serving its region.
​
Our hope is to raise funds that will empower each GVGC to become self-sufficient within about three years.
​
The result will be a network of GVGCs pooling talents and resources with TIIGS and partner organizations helping with larger tasks (e.g., large-size resource development).
