Executives In Action (EIA) is pleased to announce it is now accepting spring grant applications through May 8, 2015. EIA partners North Texas nonprofit grant recipients with seasoned executives in the midst of shifting careers with specialized skill sets, that the nonprofit would otherwise not be able to afford. The goal of the grant partnerships is that a transformational impact will be made on the organization, the members it serves, the executive volunteers and the community as a whole to help address business management.
The nonprofits selected have a tremendous impact on the North Texas area due to both the unique needs they satisfy in the community and their collaboration with other local nonprofits. Executives work with grant recipients over a six to nine month time period, reporting back to EIA on progress made and suggested next steps. The last group of grant recipients that EIA is currently working with include: Akola Project, Alley’s House, Assistance Center of Collin County, Behind Every Door, Boys and Girls Clubs of Collin County, Collin County Adult Clinic, Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Greater Dallas, Dallas Teacher Residency, Exodus Ministries, One Man’s Treasure, Promise House, Resource Center of Dallas Inc., SpiritHorse Therapeutic Riding Center, St. Philip’s School and Community Center and The Salvation Army.
"We are excited about our most recent grant recipients,” Andrea White, EIA’s director of grants and programs said. “Their missions are all diverse and each exists to lift up our community. We are looking forward to seeing how EIA and our executive partners will have a rich and deep impact on all of them in the coming months as they work to help the organizations more efficiently and effectively achieve their missions and expand their reach in our area."
“Service has become a normal part of my routine and I have EIA to thank for that,” EIA Executive Chuck Roundtree said. “EIA not only helped me see value in what I had to offer during a challenging moment in my life but more importantly EIA taught me the true value and joy in giving and serving others in our community. It has transformed my life forever.”
To apply for a spring grant, nonprofits based in North Texas are invited to visit executivesinaction.org for more information and qualifications. The application process will be open now through Friday, May 8, 2015.
