Boston-Based Nonprofit Calls on Project Partners' Local Expertise
Even after thirty years of business in North Texas, we love “firsts”, so when a Boston-based educational nonprofit reached out to us, we were happy to help. Thus, our first client from the state of Massachusetts.
This organization, dedicated to helping students of color from under-resourced communities get into and through college as a path out of poverty, needed our local expertise to gain understanding about the fundraising market in the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) metropolitan region and their capacity to raise funds for expansion here. To develop the report they needed to make data-informed decisions, we consulted on their DFW-specific case statement, interviewed stakeholders for further input on the local need, identified potential funders, and recommended revenue targets and revenue streams.
It was a pleasure to give these educational leaders insights into our wonderful philanthropic landscape. We will let you know if they decide to start serving North Texas students!
Blackland Prairie Raptor Center Plans For Fundraising Success
Transitions among the Blackland Prairie Raptor Center’s founder, Executive Director, and board members have caused a need to shore up the Center’s fundraising expertise and capacity for sustainable success with a first focus on grants and corporate sponsorships of educational programs, and a secondary focus on the opportunity to better steward and increase funds from individual donors. A development committee of board members has been established to help guide and support an improved fundraising strategy and implementation, staffed by the newly named Executive Director.
With that, the Center has teamed with Project Partners to work through our “Infrastructure for Fundraising Success,” an assessment that will help identify opportunities and establish priorities. We will also conduct funder research, consider educational programming sponsorship levels, and coach the development committee members on the art and science of fundraising.
Change for any nonprofit can be hard, but it does provide the opportunity for board members to increase their engagement in the fundraising continuum. How can you best involve your key volunteers during times of transition?
Sixty & Better Adapting to Change Through Strategic Planning
The pandemic caused a huge shift in Sixty & Better’s program of work, a program of work that had helped define this organization’s mission for more than fifty years. With that, Sixty & Better’s leadership is adapting through a strategic planning process made possible by a Toolbox grant from the North Texas Community Foundation (NTCF).
Our work together will redefine the organization’s mission, the programming to achieve that mission, and the ensuing fundraising, communications/community engagement, board leadership, and administrative support necessary for success.
We are pleased to return to Sixty & Better (formerly Senior Citizens Services of Greater Tarrant County) for this fourth assignment, providing the new leadership team both historical data based on prior work before and after their rebranding, and the opportunity to focus on the plan for continued success in serving specific needs of older adults in our community.
We are proud to serve quite often as a partner for good through executive staff and board leadership transitions!
