Friends of the Fort Worth Nature Center's inaugural Sunset Event
Friends of the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge, a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to preserving, protecting, and conserving our incredible Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge called on Project Partners to provide logistics coordination for their inaugural Sunset Event to be held October 10, 2018, on the grounds of the Nature Center. This event will provide for significant community engagement while honoring the Fort Worth-based Chair of the Texas Parks & Wildlife Commission, Ralph Duggins. We look forward to a successful partnership with Executive Director, Haily Summerford, and her distinguished volunteer committee.
More than $1.8 million raised during work with the Plano ISD Education Foundation
Project Partners concluded a four-year assignment with the Plano ISD Education Foundation, providing grant writing and grant program management. The partnership provided continuity through three Executive Director transitions and assured investments of more than $800,000 to the students and staff of Plano ISD, not counting a million dollar Toyota grant and several other multi-year grants. We also focused very successfully on prospecting for new relationships and funding opportunities. Funds raised supported STEM initiatives, AVID programs, grants to educators, an outdoor science camp, family literacy, teacher externships, and more. The Plano ISD Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to help all students in the Plano Independent School District achieve their full potential by providing financial support to educators and academic programs. Their board and Executive Director, Kristin Alexander, do a super job.
Cassata Catholic High School Renews Partnership with Project Partners
After a record-setting year of major gifts, grants, individual giving, and annual fundraising event success, Cassata Catholic High School renewed our agreement for another fiscal year of comprehensive development services. This begins our third year of work together. Cassata is a coeducational Catholic high school in Fort Worth, offering open enrollment, self-paced learning, and a flexible schedule to prepare students of all backgrounds for college and their chosen career paths.
May 24th Fort Worth Sister Cities Mayor's International Dinner and Global Awards
Project Partners once again served as logistics coordinator and show producer for the May 24th Fort Worth Sister Cities Mayor’s International Dinner and Global Awards event which boasted more than 500 guests at the Omni in downtown Fort Worth. As part of the 2014 assessment and messaging work, we helped Fort Worth Sister Cities transform this major, annual event from a themed fundraiser to a mission-driven event and integral initiative of the annual giving campaign. The Members Circle donors now make this event possible, and benefit from tables and tickets, providing an opportunity to widen this thriving network of individuals, organizations, corporations, and community leaders dedicated to expanding global relationships for peace and prosperity at home and abroad.
