Greetings, Community Members and Partners – | |
|
Please join me in congratulating the 2024 Lone Star College-Houston North Non-Profit Impact Project participants.
The Impact Project is designed to help emerging non-profit organizations develop a foundation for long-term sustainability. Participating organizations attend an intense set of sessions over six weeks covering topics such as Management and Human Resources, Fundraising, Financial Management, Laws and Regulations, and Board Development. In addition to these sessions, each organization is provided with a mentor that has experience either supporting or working with non-profits. The finale of the program is a business pitch session. Each organization presents their services to a panel of judges that provides feedback and tips for seeking future funding. The volunteer panelists are from local foundations, businesses, and governmental organizations.
The organizations apply for entry into this program. Out of over 40 applications, five were chosen for the 2024 cohort. These five are listed below.

Our Panther Pact Emergency Fund is a safety net for our students, with 100% of the proceeds helping them directly.
We are the most diverse Lone Star College institution and our locations exist in the lowest-income sections of our system’s service area. However, for the past three years, our students have continually had some of the highest completion rates within the system.
We invested a lot of time into developing partnerships so we can help students in a cost-efficient manner. We've helped students remove barriers such as food insecurity, clothing and toiletry needs, textbook costs, as well as a technology divide.
Your contribution will directly support a student in continuing their legacy.
