Gourley Foundation Board Plans for Continued Success for Students

Since 1988, the Gourley Foundation has provided direct financial assistance to more than 1,000 local college students for wrap-around services, which has helped empower their success for graduation and beyond.  With that history, the organization is looking ahead to the next priorities to accomplish for the Foundation.  We are thrilled to be teaming with the Foundation to gather data to help inform decisions, lead a board workshop around key considerations, and draft the resulting strategic plan.  

While the Foundation is new to Project Partners, the board chair is not, and it’s always fun for us to work again with key community leaders who serve multiple organizations through the years!

Blackland Prairie Raptor Center Plans For Fundraising Success

Transitions among the Blackland Prairie Raptor Center’s founder, Executive Director, and board members have caused a need to shore up the Center’s fundraising expertise and capacity for sustainable success with a first focus on grants and corporate sponsorships of educational programs, and a secondary focus on the opportunity to better steward and increase funds from individual donors.  A development committee of board members has been established to help guide and support an improved fundraising strategy and implementation, staffed by the newly named Executive Director. 

With that, the Center has teamed with Project Partners to work through our “Infrastructure for Fundraising Success,” an assessment that will help identify opportunities and establish priorities.  We will also conduct funder research, consider educational programming sponsorship levels, and coach the development committee members on the art and science of fundraising.  

Change for any nonprofit can be hard, but it does provide the opportunity for board members to increase their engagement in the fundraising continuum.  How can you best involve your key volunteers during times of transition?
