Community Healthcare of Texas to Equip Board Members

The incredible Community Healthcare of Texas (CHOT) development team – raising more than $842,000 annually over a geographic service area of 25 counties and 9 locations - is very small (a team of two) and must depend on board volunteer resources to continue retaining and attracting funding to support the mission of CHOT.  Individual giving is at the heart of CHOT fund development, as it should be.  

The goal of our work together this year, funded by a Toolbox grant from the North Texas Community Foundation (NTCF), is to better equip the board to be fundraising-ready for retention and acquisition of donors through a relationship-building portfolio model, which could then be duplicated with fund development ambassadors across CHOT’s service area.  This will be our second assignment with CHOT, and we are very excited to work again with these pros and their board members. 

We are so fortunate to serve the vast majority of our clients for multiple years and/or multiple projects! 

Happy New Year!

As we begin this 29th year of business, we thank you for your business, your referrals, your collaboration, your support, and your friendship.   We are so very grateful to keep our dream jobs of advancing community causes with you.  Happy New Year!

Operation Progress Fort Worth to Set Strategic Direction

Operation Progress Fort Worth (OPFW) empowers underserved youth to become educated, ethical, and productive adults who reach their full potential and positively contribute to society.   Their model, replicated from Operation Progress LA, partners with the Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) and supports their Scholars from 3rd grade to college and/or career.  

A recipient of a Funding to Advance Racial Equity (FARE) grant from the North Texas Community Foundation (NTCF), OPFW Executive Director, Dr. Myeshia Smith, and her dedicated board will build on their success to date as we help them establish their first official strategic plan, with a special emphasis on the focus area of fundraising.    

Project Partners was founded in 1995 on Project C3: Classrooms-Corporations-Community and collaborative community programs serving children, youth, and families remain among our favorite causes to advance. It’s an honor to support Operation Progress Fort Worth.

TCHC Receives a NTCF ToolBox Grant for Board Development

After being awarded one of the North Texas Community Foundation capacity-building ToolBox grants, Tarrant County Homeless Coalition selected Project Partners as their professional consultant. Project Partners will serve as the board development consultant to conduct an assessment of the Board of Directors that examines structure, composition, performance, and culture. We will clarify roles and provide insight on how the directors can create positive change in Tarrant County related to homelessness and access to housing through work such as updated organizational charts, job descriptions, board member agreements, and program of work summaries. A plan to recruit and orient new board members will be developed - a pipeline - keeping the group active and relevant in years to come. We will conduct training on the Board’s role in fundraising and championing the mission of TCHC and deliver a final written report to the staff and Board to allow for continued work after the project’s completion.

Taking time to further equip your board members for success is always a good idea.
