Good Work For Fort Worth Forum

Project Partners collaborated with the Rainwater Charitable Foundation to offer consulting and project management services for the launch of a new civic association nonprofit, the Fort Worth Forum. From fall 2023 through spring 2024, Project Partners facilitated initial board and committee meetings, provided administrative support, and managed comprehensive event planning and execution.

Work With Fort Worth Forum Extends

After having supported the efforts to bring this new nonprofit to fruition by helping engage its first board and membership base, infrastructure, and programming, we are thrilled to continue service to the Fort Worth Forum

To help further their mission to foster connections and fellowship among leaders in our vibrant city, we will establish a playbook for programming which will help future staff and program chairs simplify and execute the work necessary to produce each programming event. 

There is always more work to designing impactful programming and achieving a splendid event than meets the eye.  How can we help you achieve your goals?
