Community Healthcare of Texas to Equip Board Members

The incredible Community Healthcare of Texas (CHOT) development team – raising more than $842,000 annually over a geographic service area of 25 counties and 9 locations - is very small (a team of two) and must depend on board volunteer resources to continue retaining and attracting funding to support the mission of CHOT.  Individual giving is at the heart of CHOT fund development, as it should be.  

The goal of our work together this year, funded by a Toolbox grant from the North Texas Community Foundation (NTCF), is to better equip the board to be fundraising-ready for retention and acquisition of donors through a relationship-building portfolio model, which could then be duplicated with fund development ambassadors across CHOT’s service area.  This will be our second assignment with CHOT, and we are very excited to work again with these pros and their board members. 

We are so fortunate to serve the vast majority of our clients for multiple years and/or multiple projects! 

Happy New Year!

As we begin this 29th year of business, we thank you for your business, your referrals, your collaboration, your support, and your friendship.   We are so very grateful to keep our dream jobs of advancing community causes with you.  Happy New Year!

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.
