Thriving Clients
-
Since beginning a partnership with WISE, Empowering the Masses (ETM) has increased its contributed revenue by 450%. With WISE's support, their Executive Director actively cultivates prospective funders who enthusiastically support ETM's mission once WISE writes and submits each grant proposal. This collaborative relationship also includes coaching on funding competitiveness through financial reporting, outcomes tracking and diversification.

Bishop Arts Theatre Center (BATC) already had strong relationships in the community and a leader who loved to make connections when they joined WISE as a client in late 2023. Since then, their cultivation has only been maximized by WISE's strategic vision and knowledge of funders to both create new relationships with funders and reinvigorate past connections that just needed a little "push." Most recently, BATC and WISE were able to leverage a relationship with a funder to receive a grant for a critical need, freeing the organization to focus on its inclusive and equitable fine arts programming.

Over the years, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of North Texas’s (SVdP) programming has grown in response to the needs of its community to focus on homelessness prevention. When SVdP became a client with WISE, we worked together to apply the social determinants of health (SDOH) as a lens to describe how the agency’s efforts impact an individual’s quality of life and help prevent homelessness. SVdP’s programs address four out of the five SDOH to improve the health and well-being of clients (neighbors), which illustrates to potential funders the agency’s comprehensive approach to building a more resilient community.
