Tarrant County Coalition for Peace and Justice to Advance the Mr. Fred Rouse Memorial

Tarrant County Coalition for Peace and Justice (TCCPJ) partnered with the Rainwater Charitable Foundation to purchase the site of the racial terror lynching of Mr. Fred Rouse.  TCCPJ’s goal with the project is to reclaim this historical site of trauma and use the site as a foundation for community healing and memorialization.   During the initial planning stages of creating The Mr. Fred Rouse Memorial, members of TCCPJ reached out to Project Partners for development consulting and project management. 

Our fundraising readiness work with the board members will result in a detailed fund development plan for the capital campaign needs to include a case for support, a  constituent database, possible naming opportunities and other elements to attract and recognize funder support, identification of the campaign task force members, and the giving table.  We will coach and support the volunteers on the fundraising process of identification, qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship, and submit tailored proposals as might be feasible during this phase of the work.

TCCPJ is committed to racial healing in our community.   We know you are, too.  Please join in. 

TCHC Receives a NTCF ToolBox Grant for Board Development

After being awarded one of the North Texas Community Foundation capacity-building ToolBox grants, Tarrant County Homeless Coalition selected Project Partners as their professional consultant. Project Partners will serve as the board development consultant to conduct an assessment of the Board of Directors that examines structure, composition, performance, and culture. We will clarify roles and provide insight on how the directors can create positive change in Tarrant County related to homelessness and access to housing through work such as updated organizational charts, job descriptions, board member agreements, and program of work summaries. A plan to recruit and orient new board members will be developed - a pipeline - keeping the group active and relevant in years to come. We will conduct training on the Board’s role in fundraising and championing the mission of TCHC and deliver a final written report to the staff and Board to allow for continued work after the project’s completion.

Taking time to further equip your board members for success is always a good idea.

Maroon 9 Ensures Fundraising Readiness with Consulting from Project Partners

Maroon 9 Ensures Fundraising Readiness with Consulting from Project Partners

We first learned of Maroon 9 when we met Executive Director, ShaVonne Davis, while presenting two workshops, one on grant writing and one on relational fundraising, for North Texas Community Foundation (NTCF) FARE grantees. FARE stands for Fund to Advance Racial Equity. After receiving a 2022 NTCF Toolbox grant, she circled back to discuss how best we might partner.

Arlington Life Shelter Embarks on a Development Plan Refresh with ToolBox Grant Funds

Arlington Life Shelter Embarks on a Development Plan Refresh with ToolBox Grant Funds

We first worked for Arlington Life Shelter (ALS) in 2012 after responding to an RFP for fundraising/marketing consulting made possible by a North Texas Community Foundation (NTCF) Toolbox grant. That work was in part, to help get ALS ready for a pending capital campaign and we were so pleased to hear recently from the former ED about some results of that work together, “You were able to provide a detailed, step-by-step plan that staff and board members with passion, but little fundraising experience, could easily follow. Thanks to your direction, ALS was able to increase individual giving from 7% to 66% while tripling our budget.”

2022-2023 Marks Twelve Years of Work Together with HEB ISD Education Foundation

HEB ISD Education Foundation board leadership has teamed with Project Partners for what will be a twelfth year of work together. This partnership all started in 2011 with a referral by our friend, Bill Lynch (now retired VP of Public Policy at the Arlington Chamber) to the executive director search committee, willing to consider a contracted solution. This proven model works so well for our clients, as we require no training, supervision, office space, equipment, or employee red tape – just an opportunity to join your team and get to work! Project Partners’ support to the 35+ member volunteer board of directors includes strategic planning, community relations and communications, fundraising, events management, program development, board and committee engagement, and nonprofit administration.

If your cause needs a voice and a hands-on project management team, you’ve come to a good place
