Campaign Readiness Leads to Grant Submissions for Mr. Fred Rouse Memorial

Working collaboratively with the board members of the Tarrant County Coalition for Peace and Justice (TCCPJ) to become ready for their campaign was very rewarding.  Now, we are happy to help TCCPJ submit the grant applications for funding, and we are all excited about the possibilities of this expanded community impact. 

Many community causes are led by volunteers who have day jobs and myriad other responsibilities (coalitions are prime examples).  Project Partners works directly for these multi-task leaders to provide the exact expertise and support needed. At last count, we have assisted more than 250 boards, committees, and task forces.  Choose Project Partners and you'll see why we love this part of our job. 

We do what’s good for you.  

Mission United Plans For Inaugural Stronger Together Showcase

United Way of Tarrant County’s Mission United is leading the work of a group of civic and nonprofit organizations in Arlington who are planning a tribute to veterans and first responders in May 2024. Dubbed The Stronger Together Showcase (STS), this multi-faceted event will educate and engage the community, while elevating several issues related to military service and freedom.  

The Veterans Task Force and Stronger Together Showcase Committee Leaders have teamed with Project Partners for consulting and project management to assure the success of this first-time initiative and the documentation of the leadership, procedures, and work required to produce the results.  This playbook will allow for duplication in future years and in other locations, saving valuable resources and increasing the community impact.   

This project reminds us of a larger version of the Veteran’s Stand Down event we helped Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County execute in 2006, and of work we produced with VETCO in 2015.  Producing the playbook reminds us of work for Strategic Pathways to Student Success work in 2015 and 2016 with the Fort Worth Chamber.  And it’s always fun to work with a returning client that knows our work so well, and who introduces us to new opportunities. 

There are many benefits to being Tarrant County’s partner for good since 1995.  We are grateful!    

Create + Collaborate Strategizes for Sustainability and Growth

Founded in 2020, Create + Collaborate (C + Co) has seen a 57% growth in students served through their mentoring, leadership training, and life skills programming, and an overall financial growth of 91%.  To support this tremendous growth, the Board of Directors created goals as part of its preliminary strategy work for 2023 and is now teaming with Project Partners to bring that process to a strategic plan in support of ongoing development and sustainability. 

When the Founder and Executive Director of C + Co reached out to us as she was pondering her North Texas Community Foundation Toolbox Grant application, we immediately knew that we wanted the chance to work with her.  She is a young, smart, innovative leader, dedicated to making a difference in the lives of youth and their families in Southeast Fort Worth. 

We look forward to this good work together in one of our specialty cause areas – education and workforce development. 

LinkED To Shore Up Strategies For Grants and Monthly Giving

After working collaboratively with several LinkED staff and board members through various education and workforce development initiatives, we are thrilled that LinkED reached out to Project Partners for fundraising consulting, with an eye towards further developing their monthly giving program and grants support.  A Toolbox Grant from the North Texas Community Foundation makes this capacity-building work possible. 

LinkED, Linking Ability to Learning, provides educational links for families of individuals with learning differences or learning disabilities such as autism, dyslexia, and ADHD, and connects educators to relevant professional development resources and adult literacy programs.  This mission makes LinkED a key piece of the educational framework of our community, touching lives across every demographic and impacting many other instructional programs - public and private. 

It is so fun to see a former educator succeed as a nonprofit executive, (it’s not an easy transition for some) and look to bolster fundraising strategies.  We look forward to this good work together.   

After Facility Expansion, The WARM Place Plans For the Future

Founded in 1989, The WARM Place provides a safe, compassionate space for children and their families grieving the death of a loved one. On the heels of a successful capital campaign and facility expansion, the organization is primed for a fresh look at the future.  

When The WARM Place board chair reached out to us about possibly teaming to facilitate this strategic planning process, upon a recommendation by a mutual friend and Project Partners client, we jumped at the chance to partner with this outstanding nonprofit that has served many we know who have experienced the death of a loved one. 

We will serve as the consultant and facilitator of the planning process and the board workshop.  In addition, we will ensure delivery of the final plan document that includes organizational goals around five focus areas to include Board and Committees, Administration, Financial Stability/Fundraising, Community Impact, and Communications.

Now in our 29th year of business, our work has always come from referrals and repeat business.  Thank you for your continued support!
