Creating Coalitions

I had the privilege to facilitate a working session last month of a group of concerned citizens, community and corporate leaders, all planning to work together to directly affect an important community issue. As we worked through 1) how this collaboration might be beneficial to them all and 2) how they could most effectively make a difference, I was reminded of a presentation on coalition-building I heard when on a United Way/Fort Worth Chamber community advocacy for education assignment, funded by the Gates Foundation.

Tight Controls Help Increase Annual Giving Dollars

One of our client's annual giving campaign has already achieved 95% of goal and the campaign still has five months to come to full fruition. Our assigned Project Partners project manager has done a terrific job directing this initiative, coaching and guiding staff and volunteers, who are very excited about the accomplishment, as you can imagine. How did this happen?

How can Project Partners advance your cause?

We're good about responding promptly.
