About the Company
The Fort Worth Partnership for Community Development elevates Fort Worths community development industry in terms of impact, sustainability and accountability; it would do so by pooling funds from private philanthropy, government and the corporate sector and provide capacity-building grants to organizations in low-income neighborhoods to improve their ability to complete projects with impact. The FWPCD purpose will thus be three-fold:
Building strong, accountable, locally-led, non-profit community-based organizations in low and moderate income neighborhoods of the City of Fort Worth;
Supporting comprehensive community economic development and diverse, focused activities which produce housing units, create and retain jobs, and complete other comprehensive projects which result in substantial, measurable improvements in the quality of life in neighborhoods; and
Delivering a sustained and comprehensive message to the community at large about the importance of community development.
FWPCD Activities
The activities of the FWPCD directly address the three main challenges facing Fort Worth CDCs as revealed through a number of years of study. The Partnership will provide the following for eligible CDCs:
Support their core operations,
Underwrite the cost of technical assistance and training and thereby strengthen their capacity, and;
Elevate the impact and profile of community development industry through advocacy and forging new and innovative collaborations.
The efficacy of the Partnership will be seen through:
An increase in housing and commercial development;
Strong CDCs that efficiently and effectively conduct the business of community development; and,
Numerous and innovative partnerships that reconnect economically disenfranchised communities with the mainstream markets.
