Strategic Partnerships

The third step of Transform Dallas will be working with existing local non-profits, schools, ministries, churches, and businesses to help strengthen their existing programs and fill in the gaps with programs that sustain personal and community transformation. Partnerships are built between healthy churches, businesses, and foundations outside the targeted area (Example: Watermark Church. Park Cites Presbyterian, Northwest Bible Church) with local churches, non-profits, and organizations inside the target area (Example:  West Dallas Community Church, Westmoreland Heights Neighborhood Association, and West Dallas Weed & Seed).

Update: Existing non profits have identified their strengths and allowed other non profits to take over their programs where they're weaker. Strong healthy outside churches has partnered with local congregations, and over the past few years over $10 million has been sowed into the local West Dallas non profits. An excellent example of cooperation between outside churches and inside churches is the Men’s Ministry of Covenant Church of Carrollton, Texas that adopted an inner city church in West Dallas and led spiritual outreach to one of the highest crime areas. Crime has significantly dropped since.
