About
Next Generation Giving, Inc. was founded in 2018 by Lynda Harrison-Gaines and Michael R. Harrison to continue the life mission of their late father, former Madison County District 6 Commissioner, Robert “Bob” Harrison. They share a vision to continue his legacy of giving back to the community by feeding the hungry,
nurturing the young, and caring for the elderly.
​
We strongly believe all children can learn, define their future, and change the world.
Our Mission
Next Generations Giving, Inc. has a mission and goal to provide hunger relief to citizens living in
distressed communities in the Huntsville area. Especially vulnerable are children, the homeless and the elderly.
​
Next Generation Giving along with community partners in the area successfully completed the 2018 Food-Share initiative that produced nearly 200 boxes of food and personal provisions for citizens requiring assistance. The continued goal will be to provide this kind of assistance throughout the holidays and long summer breaks.

What’s New at NGG? Commissioner Robert "Bob" Harrison was an accomplished black business owner; who, as a county commissioner, fought to bring equitable opportunities to citizens in Northwest Huntsville.Therefore, NGG created a Summer Business Internship program to inspire young Northwest Huntsville students from minority backgrounds to develop and pursue their professional goals.
We are committed to sharing the talents of successful executives with deserving high school and college students. Our internships pair motivated students with professionals in privately-owned businesses, nonprofits, and public organizations. Over the course of the program- NGG Foundation interns learn best practices for interpersonal communication, business correspondence, and professional attire. Our interns are exposed to the internal operations of an organization as they shadow professionals, attend team and client meetings, and receive training to complete a variety of assignments.
We believe that by showing these young people what is possible, we can help instill in them the confidence and discipline they will need to succeed. Our ultimate goal is to train the next generation of business owners, who will pay it forward by reinvesting in Northwest Huntsville youth and our struggling neighborhoods.
