Since 2016, Justin’s Place has worked to help families walk out of generational poverty by providing long-term services to both mothers and children that includes youth programming, mentoring, basic support services, and more. The organization has plans to add transitional housing services for single mother-led families with the construction of The Nest. Thanks to the generosity of the community, the capital campaign was nearing completion, but was stalled by the pandemic.
Thanks to a ToolBox Grant from the North Texas Community Foundation, we have been invited to work with Justin’s Place to provide grant and fundraising coaching to organizational staff, including the Executive Director, Program Director, and key board volunteer, with an eye toward completing the capital campaign and expanding the organization’s capacity to raise operating funds for Justin’s Place programming.
The goal of closing out the campaign for The Nest is within reach and we are so happy to be partnering with them to help not only cross the finish line, but to also develop a fundraising plan that will support on-site programming well into the future.
