Fourth Partner Learning Events included four presentations and several giving group meetings. Between 30 and 50 individuals participated in these events.In 2011, Fourth Partner became the fiscal sponsor for The Women's Fund, a women's giving circle. The fiscal sponsor arrangement follows the direct project model. The Women's Fund is committed to maximizing the impact of women's philanthropy by pooling it's members' resources. It raises funds through membership donations and fundraising events. The Women's Fund awards impact grants amounting to $100,000 or more on an annual basis, based on funds collected in the previous year, to local non-profits serving women and children. In 2014, The Women's Fund made grants to five non-profits for a total of $145,951. Fourth Partner convened local mental health experts, church leaders and significant donors to create the Peace of Mind Mental Health website, database and annual conference. Fourth Partner took Peace of Mind from concept to an 800-person full-day conference in Tyler, Texas. Details included establishing an advisory board and planning committee; recruiting donors; recruiting sponsors; creating a website and online registration system; creating a database of participants and volunteers; handling all of the conference logistics. The Peace of Mind event was tremendously successful, which led to a local nonprofit counseling center taking over as one of its core educational programs, as well as the creation of an additional mental health alliance in East Texas focused on political and legal reform. 474904 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 9 0 true 9 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 3 2 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false X TERRY TERRY 9035099911 6125 PALUXY DRIVE TYLER TX 75703 GEOFFREY R BUFORD VICE CHAIRMAN 0.20 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DOUG BOLLES Director 0.20 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Allen Director 0.20 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNON DACUS Director 0.20 0.00 X 0 0 0 Felicity Reedy sec/tREAS 0.25 0.00 X X 0 0 0 W Fred Smith Chairman 10.00 0.00 X X 38985 0 3898 LARRY ANDERSON Director 0.20 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAWN FRANKS PRESIDENT 40.00 0.00 X 53919 0 5391 92904 9289 0 false false false 0 184100 177559 426 361659 OFFICE SUPPORT 561000 29000 29000 29000 19074 19074 0 0 0 458348 457883 465 465 465 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 1336 1336 1336 411534 29000 20875 219491 219491 0 0 0 92903 73411 19492 0 73959 45182 28777 0 51301 39927 11374 12069 8410 3659 0 4584 4584 13770 1728 12042 0 0 0 0 0 5544 935 4609 0 0 38598 20544 18054 2186 1734 452 0 0 0 0 4201 831 3370 5497 2987 2510 SPECIAL EVENTS 39469 38969 500 Women's Fund Operations 29000 29000 TECHNOLOGY 8449 1597 6852 Website Expense 6340 6340 12918 8234 4684 620279 474904 145375 0 X 158582 250935 271892 238041 312544 223225 88395 213 0 0 0 0 16934 7824 125978 108098 19542 17880 843064 610165 0 0 0 8655 6905 1719608 1355188 69953 5969 419359 327668 3 3 489315 333640 X 1230293 1021548 1230293 1021548 1719608 1355188 -208745 X true X false false false X 643113 732429 755535 824260 361659 3316996 16301 7143 9240 18855 29000 80539 0 0 0 659414 739572 764775 843115 390659 3397535 0 0 3397535 27953 35917 38098 34224 19074 155266 0 27953 35917 38098 34224 19074 155266 0 1336 1336 687367 775489 802873 877339 411069 3554137 0.95590 0.96060 0.04370 0.03940 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 27561 10160 17401 29648 29169 479 68769 68769 17880 Rounding 3 3 true CHAMPIONS FOR CHILDREN 4883 HIGHTECH DRIVE TYLER TX 75703 752669405 33720 0 EARLY CHILDHOOD EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM EAST TEXAS CRISIS CENTER PO BOX 7060 TYLER TX 75711 751641173 33923 0 JOB PREPARATION PROJECT ST PAUL CHILDRENS FOUNDATIO 1358 EAST RICHARDS STREET TYLER TX 75702 752687636 45808 0 TRAUMA COUNSELING & ASSESSMENT CTR THE GATHERING 6125 PALUXY TYLER TX 75703 752726170 15000 0 GENERAL FUNDING TYLER DAY NURSERY 2901 WEST GENTRY PARKWAY TYLER TX 75702 750827467 30000 0 EATING HEALTHY FOOD PROGRAM 5 0 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used Grant requests over $5,000 are reviewed by the Grants Committee.
