2022 Marks a Seventh Year of Partnership with Cassata Catholic High School

What started as a need to supplement Cassata’s small development team as their grants consultant during a busy spring season, blossomed into a partnership over seven years to raise community profile and revenues, and strengthen relationships through a school president transition. Our work with this extraordinary private, nonprofit school in Near Southside Fort Worth, has also helped them successfully navigate the challenges of fundraising through a pandemic, including shifting their annual fundraising event, Noche de Gracias, to an online/digital experience twice, then adjust back to an in-person event (fingers crossed) for 2022.

This spring, our team will continue to team with Cassata staff and volunteers to provide comprehensive development services to include major gifts, grants, individual giving, donor relations, a Development Director search, and the Noche de Gracias event. We will also continue to support Cassata with donor-centric communications.

Maggie Harrison, PhD, President of Cassata Catholic High School said, “I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Project Partners for working with Cassata. Your associates have been most helpful in Cassata's development, offering their expertise, advice, and services. I have also been very impressed with the way in which the Project Partners team planned and organized the Noche de Gracias fundraising event—all of its details. It was all so seamless and highly professional.”

The Shaken Baby Alliance Launches New C.O.P.E. Curriculum

The Shaken Baby Alliance (SBA) launched their new C.O.P.E. Curriculum at an event held Wednesday, September 22nd at One Safe Place. This curriculum, which is proven to help prevent child abuse and shaken baby syndrome, is named as an acronym which is also a call to action:  C.O.P.E.– Crying. Overwhelmed. Pause. Exit. Thanks to funding partners and collaborators, this newly refreshed curriculum by The Shaken Baby Alliance will be presented throughout our community by a new program director. We are honored to help such important community cause champions as Bonnie Armstrong, Founding Executive Director of SBA, and her incredible staffing team, board, and advisory council. And thank you, Mayor Parker, and Councilmen Flores and Nettles, for your support!

"Connect Globally Endowment for International Relations" Introduced at the FWSCI Annual Meeting

While on assignment with Fort Worth Sister Cities International (FWSCI), our team was asked to develop collateral  - a brochure in support of the new “Connect Globally Endowment for International Relations,” generously seeded by Connie Beck and Frank Tilley, in memory of their parents James and Janeyl Beck and Gordon and Mable Tilley. The North Texas Community Foundation holds the endowed fund, providing stewardship excellence. 

Our work, which included the creative concept, copywriting, graphics, coordination with all reviewers, and production direction, was showcased as the new endowment fund was introduced at the FWSCI annual meeting on September 9th. This was our 18th assignment working with the impressive FWSCI team, who connect Fort Worth with the world.
