Our House for Girls Awarded $25,000 Grant

DOVER—Our House for Girls (OHFG), a non-profit, community-based residential home for adolescent girls in need, recently received a $25,000 grant through the generosity of an anonymous donor.

The grant, which is not to be used for operational purposes, was awarded in order to help fund the OHFG board’s strategic planning process. Members of the board, in collaboration with Jamie Batson of Mather Associates, Ann Hopkins of ALH Consulting, and a handful of OHFG’s key stakeholders, recently set this process in motion during a half-day retreat in Newington, NH.

The ultimate goal of the strategic planning process will be to ensure that the board continues to support and help implement the mission of Our House for Girls, which for over 30 years has been to rebuild young lives through comprehensive therapeutic, educational, and support services in a structured and nurturing living environment.

Anyone interested in becoming a key stakeholder in the future of Our House for Girls is encouraged to visit their web site at www.ourhouseforgirls.org or to contact the organization’s executive director, Susan Lavallee, at 742-2963.
