Demeter Project has served as a convener of major local community initiatives by establishing strong relationships with organizations including the Deep Ellum mural project and the Deep Ellum enrichment project, Human Rights Initiative of North Texas, Grace Unlimited, Soupmobile, New Friends New Life, Maggie's House, Women's Peacemakers Conference, Operation Kindness, Earth Day festival, Wilkinson Center, KERA (NPR), Harold Simmons Foundation, Dallas Social Venture Partners, North Texas GLBT Chamber and others. Working in tandem with these organizations, Demeter Project has been able to provide everything from employment opportunities to a place for community groups to gather.
During it's first year, Demeter Project has also been recognized by media outlets such as WFAA-TV's Good Morning Texas and as one of the Dallas Observer's 2009 "Best of Dallas".
Demeter Project has also made its mark in the education and business communities. To do this, we have partnered with several universities to re-examine the role of business organizations within the community and to promote the teaching of socially responsible and ethically driven business practices and social entrepreneurship to a new generation of business leaders.
By changing the way people think about business, our employees and our community, we're confident that we can reinvent the American workplace.
