Title: Creating a “Value Added” Center by Expanding the Development Office<br />

Role within the Larger Community<br />

Abstract:<br />

This poster shows how Lubbock-Cooper ISD’s Development Office expanded its role in the community<br />

to provide value added services. <strong>The</strong> Development Office developed a funded 21st Century<br />

Community Learning Center grant which was a consortium <strong>of</strong> five area school districts. To<br />

meet a grant requirement <strong>of</strong> having a plan to continue the program beyond this grant’s funding<br />

the Llano Estacado Rural Communities Foundation was created. <strong>The</strong> foundation’s by-laws expanded<br />

the role <strong>of</strong> the grant writing and other fund raising activities into the area <strong>of</strong> “improving<br />

the quality <strong>of</strong> life” for all community stakeholders in the five communities. Through the creation<br />

<strong>of</strong> the foundation the philanthropic activities in these communities has been greatly increased by<br />

developing grants for several agencies which before this did not see their missions as overlapping.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se activities are leading to the development <strong>of</strong> a community/regional-wide mind-set <strong>of</strong> looking<br />

meeting the needs <strong>of</strong> community stakeholders by blending the activities <strong>of</strong> various agencies<br />

and service providers. This blending is allowing resources from various agencies to be used to<br />

meet community needs and develop stronger multi-agency consortiums which are now working<br />

together to submit grant proposals.<br />
