Operation Progress Fort Worth to Set Strategic Direction

Operation Progress Fort Worth (OPFW) empowers underserved youth to become educated, ethical, and productive adults who reach their full potential and positively contribute to society.   Their model, replicated from Operation Progress LA, partners with the Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) and supports their Scholars from 3rd grade to college and/or career.  

A recipient of a Funding to Advance Racial Equity (FARE) grant from the North Texas Community Foundation (NTCF), OPFW Executive Director, Dr. Myeshia Smith, and her dedicated board will build on their success to date as we help them establish their first official strategic plan, with a special emphasis on the focus area of fundraising.    

Project Partners was founded in 1995 on Project C3: Classrooms-Corporations-Community and collaborative community programs serving children, youth, and families remain among our favorite causes to advance. It’s an honor to support Operation Progress Fort Worth.

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.

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!
