MGRF Future
Home > About Us >Future

We are neither a traditional nor a typical non-profit. We are efficient, resourceful, responsive, adaptive and always striving toward becoming obsolete. Every program or idea we have developed and implemented is based on the premise of empowerment for the individuals and communities we humbly and proudly serve. It is this commitment to action and rejection of complacency which has propelled the MGR Foundation as a formidable force for creating positive change.



Our growth has been honest, sincere and intentional. We look forward to our future serving communities in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, and Las Vegas.

Team M3: Chicago Student MentorRun is focused on offering Team M3 to all underserved Chicago Public schools that could benefit from such a program. We are currently piloting a peer mentorship program which we hope to build as a model for all of our Team M3 partner schools, providing participants with the benefits of both peer and adult mentorship.

Murals is dedicated to enriching the lives of youth through the arts, providing avenues to expand their horizons beyond the violence of their communities. We seek to expand Murals to partner with additional community and school sites to address violence in our communities across all school-aged children. Additionally, we seek to mobilize our communities around these goals through the growth of our community rallies and outreach.

WillPower is committed to providing comprehensive sex education that invites teens to unpack key situations and relationships in teen life through peer theatre. The MGR Foundation seeks to expand its teen pregnancy prevention program across Chicago and Pittsburgh high schools to support teens with comprehensive sex education and empower them to make positive choices.

Positive Spin: We hope to expand our new health and wellness program. We look forward to the growth of this program from our 46 student participants to additional student and mentor pairs increasing our impact through mentoring, fitness and accessibility.

CareTeam aims to engage Chicagoans in volunteering through direct service. Our goal is to focus on several key events and deepen our impact on Chicago’s communities in the areas of youth development, environmental protection, poverty reduction and senior recognition.
