Water From The Rock Receives ToolBox Grant for Strategic Planning Services

Water From The Rock (WFTR) has been serving individuals and families experiencing poverty in central and east Arlington since 1999. Programs have included food distribution, adult literacy training (GED and ESL), computer classes, and Success Connections (a clothing distribution program to outfit participants for job interviews). However, program participation has dipped significantly, even though there is evidence to suggest a critical need for their services in the community. WFTR has received a ToolBox grant from the North Texas Community Foundation for strategic planning services to help determine the most effective way forward.

Working hand-in-hand with the WFTR staff and volunteers, Project Partners will help develop a strategic plan for the faith-based, nonprofit organization that aligns with the needs of the community and increases program participation and the impact of the direct services. Our work will focus on five key areas:

  1. Board and Committees

  2. Administration

  3. Financial Stability/Fundraising

  4. Community Impact/Program Development

  5. Communications

Strategic planning may be one of the most important things nonprofit executives can do. Find out how we can help!
