Narrative
9. Please provide a brief summary of your project.
This summary will be used to describe your project to those reviewing your documents. Please provide
enough detail to explain your primary objectives and activities.
TFT Community is actively addresses challenges in Fort Worth's Districts 2, 5, 8, and 11 through
comprehensive financial education, career training, and youth mentorship. Our initiatives equip residents
with essential skills for financial independence and reduce violent crime by fostering economic stability
and community engagement. Reducing poverty and partnering with local law enforcement, we strengthen
community ties and enhance safety by creating sustainable environments where residents can thrive and
build generational wealth.
10. What do you believe is the most significant crime/safety problem the community faces?
What causes it? How do you know?
The Fort Worth Police Department's 2023 3rd Quarter Crime Report reveals there were 2,658
aggravated assaults in Fort Worth. Assaults are trending upward with a 0.3% increase over 2022. Of
these crimes, 49% occurred in a home and 32% were domestic-related. Notably, 64% of them occurred
in Council Districts 11, 8, 5 and 2, where families below the poverty line respectively total 17.01 %,
16.54%, 11.68%, and 15.16%.[1]
Aggravated assaults, more prevalent than other violent crimes, have profound consequences in these
districts, inducing fear, anxiety, and declines in victim well-being. Peer-reviewed studies show a link
between violence and poverty, underscored by increasing assaults and high poverty rates. Poverty is a
primary contributor, creating conditions that increase the likelihood of assault and other violent behavior.
These 4 Districts are low-income Black and Hispanic communities [2] facing systemic, economic, social
and educational challenges, resulting in disparities in opportunities and outcomes. Poverty in these
communities contributes to violence as follows:
a) Financial instability and social isolation in poverty create high-stress environments, fostering conflicts
and violence.[3]
b) Unemployment and economic strain from unemployment/underemployment leads to strained
relationships, domestic disputes and greater violence risks within families.[4]
c) Limited Access to Resources: Poverty restricts access to vital resources like education and healthcare,
causing frustration and desperation. [5]
d) Substance Abuse: Poverty correlates with a higher risk of substance abuse, impairing judgment and
elevating the likelihood of violent behavior.[6]
e) Neighborhood Environment: Poverty often clusters in high-crime neighborhoods, increasing risks of
assault as victims or perpetrators.[7]
f) Economic, Social, and Criminal Justice Disparities: Poverty-induced economic disparities limit access
to resources, job opportunities and quality housing, adversely impacting education, health and overall well-
being. Black and Hispanic communities contribute to a cycle of poverty, limiting rehabilitation
opportunities.
g) Systemic Issues: Systemic problems like discrimination and social injustice disproportionately affect
those in poverty, fostering frustration and anger, heightening the risk of interpersonal violence.

11. Please describe your mission and the population you serve.
TFT Organization's mission is to positively impact the lives of Adults and Youths throughfinancial literacy.
We are dedicated to empowering families, individuals, and youth by providing financial education that
facilitates financial management skills and debt elimination and establishes generational wealth. Our
Young World Changers program is tailored for 10- to 18-year-olds, providing a comprehensive roadmap
to adulthood. This initiative encompasses lessons in financial literacy, community engagement, career
preparation, character development, and awareness of drugs, alcohol, and crime. Moreover, the program
provides valuable college scholarship opportunities. In 2023, we served 33 at-risk students and awarded
7 scholarships totaling $2000 to graduating high school seniors. We plan to serve 138 students in 2024.
For adults, we present Debt Free Community Classes designed to elevate financial knowledge. These
classes cover crucial topics such as credit understanding, budget management, debt and cash flow,
home buying and maintenance, and retirement savings. Participants not only gain financial insights but
also acquire essential life skills, including goal setting, career preparation, interview techniques, and
effective job-seeking strategies. We served 43 adults in 2023 and we are on track to serve 263 adults in
2024.
Our outreach specifically targets low-income adults and children residing at 200% below the federal
poverty line in high-crime areas. We concentrate our efforts on predominantly Black and Hispanic
communities within Fort Worth City Council Districts 11, 8, 5, and 2. In addition to conducting training at
our partner locations, we are able to use apartment conference rooms to deliver on-site, conveniently
accessible services to families due to established partnerships with low-income apartment communities
in these districts. We currently operate under Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Hope Farm,
Sycamore Pointe Townhomes Clayton Youth Enrichment, and Union Gospel Mission of Tarrant County.
In addition, we partner with Trimble Tech, O.D. Wyatt, Northside, Poly Tech and Dunbar High Schools for
our Automotive Program. During the build process, progress videos are made for social media,
recognizing the students involved, and promoting sale of the vehicle at auction.
Through our initiatives and partnerships, we strive to make a meaningful impact on the financial well-being
and future prospects of individuals and families in these underserved communities.
12. What are you requesting funding for? What capability does your agency need to better serve
the Fort Worth community?
Securing funding for these areas will enable TFT to significantly improve the financial health and well-
being of the Fort Worth community, fostering a more prosperous and resilient local economy.
1) Technology upgrades and digital tools will enhance the efficiency and scope of our financial education
programs and outreach efforts. Funding will support the acquisition of new software*, hardware*, and
digital platforms, enabling remote learning, improved data management, and enhanced virtual community
engagement. (*details is listed in 2024 Annual Budget)
2) Program expansion to increase the number of participants in our Young World Changers and Debt
Free Community Classes by 33% annually. Additional funds will support hiring 3 more staff, the expansion
of program materials, and the covering of operational costs associated with larger cohorts.
3) Funding will be used to support research, development, and pilot testing of new programs tailored to
the evolving demographics and economic conditions in Fort Worth. New initiative development to design
and implement initiatives will address emerging community needs, such as job training in high-demand
sectors and financial literacy for new immigrants.
4) Staff training and professional development to ensure that our staff remains at the forefront of best
practices in nonprofit management, financial education, and community outreach. Funds will be allocated
toward ongoing professional development opportunities, certifications, and training workshops to
enhance staff skills and expertise.
5) Community partnerships and collaboration aim to forge and sustain partnerships with other nonprofits,
local businesses, educational institutions, and government agencies. Funding will support collaborative
projects, joint events, and shared resource initiatives that multiply our impact within the community.
Capabilities Needed to Better Serve Fort Worth: To effectively address these needs and significantly
improve our service delivery in the Fort Worth community, we aim to:
1) Expanded Outreach and Engagement Capacity: Developing the ability to reach broader and more
diverse segments of the community, especially underserved populations.
2) Enhanced Program Delivery and Impact Measurement: Strengthening our ability to deliver high-quality,
impactful programs and to measure and analyze the outcomes effectively.
3) Increased Staff and Volunteer Support: Building a larger, more skilled workforce and volunteer base to
manage increased program scopes and new initiatives.
4) Stronger Infrastructure: Upgrading physical and technological infrastructure to support expanded
services and staff.
By securing funding, TFT will positively impact the financial health and well-being of the Fort Worth
community, contributing to a more resilient local economy. Families in poverty and high-risk areas will
gain access to essential resources to stabilize and improve their financial circumstances.

TFT sustains its mission through a diversified funding strategy, ensuring robust financial health and the
ability to effectively deliver and expand our programs. Our funding sources include:
1) Grants: By hiring a consultant to assist for grants and perform grant writing tasks to secure grants from
governmental bodies, private foundations, and corporate sponsors that align with our mission of financial
education and community empowerment.

education, community outreach, and program development, each committed to our values of empathy,

responsibility. Their diverse perspectives help steer TFT towards sustainable growth and greater
community impact.
Volunteers are integral to our operations, contributing across various levels of our organization. Program
Delivery: Volunteers assist in administering our educational programs, mentoring youth, and facilitating
workshops. Event Management: Many of our fundraising and community events rely on volunteers for
planning, coordination, and execution. Specialized Skills: Volunteers also offer specialized skills such as

collaborate on projects to mutually enhance our reach and effectiveness. Businesses not only provide
funding but also participate in our programs, offering internships and job training opportunities to our

17. If applicable, please describe how you are involved with a CCPD Funding Priority Area.
TFT is deeply involved with initiatives under the CCPD Special Emphasis, which are integral to our
mission of reducing crime rates and improving the socio-economic conditions in economically
disadvantaged neighborhoods of Fort Worth. Our collaborative efforts with local entities such as Tarrant
County Juvenile Services, My Brother's Keeper, Community Frontline, Clayton Youth Enrichment,
Sycamore Point Town (O.R.C), and Hope Farm exemplify our commitment to these goals. By engaging
directly with hundreds of youth and their families, TFT plays a pivotal role in mentoring and educating
young individuals on the perils of violent crimes, promoting substantial and lasting community
transformation.
Our approach aligns closely with the CCPD's key focus areas: Police/Community Relations and Violent
Crime Prevention. We prioritize enhancing relationships between the Fort Worth Police Department and
minority or underserved communities to foster a sense of trust and mutual respect. This strategy is vital for
effective community policing and helps in building a supportive environment conducive to open dialogue
and cooperation.
Moreover, our targeted programs in Drug Awareness, Automotive Skills, Home Improvement, Financial
Education, and Life Skills tackle the underlying factors that contribute to violent crime. These programs
are designed to empower participants with the knowledge and skills needed to improve their life
circumstances, which in turn, reduces their vulnerability to crime. We address critical areas such as
economic instability, educational deficits, and lack of employment opportunities, which are often the
breeding grounds for criminal behavior.
TFT's comprehensive strategy does not just stop at intervention. We aim to instill lasting changes through
continuous education and engagement. Our work includes regular follow-ups with participants, community
impact assessments, and adapting our strategies based on the evolving needs of the community and the
insights gained from ongoing interactions with community members and stakeholders.
By enhancing our programs and extending our reach within the community, TFT is setting a robust
example of how community-based initiatives can effectively reduce crime and build stronger, more
resilient communities. Our ongoing efforts to foster collaborations with the police department and other
key stakeholders are fundamental to this approach, ensuring that the initiatives we undertake are
inclusive, well-supported, and successful in achieving the CCPD's goals of improved safety and
community well-being.

monitor progress on neighborhood projects and
interventions, ensuring alignment with the strategic
plan.
Skill Assessment Tools: Implement regular
assessment surveys or skills tests to evaluate the
impact of executive coaching on staff performance
