We’re thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new podcast channel under the Faces of Grand Prairie Media Group, dedicated to spotlighting the heart of our city—its nonprofits and civic organizations.
In our very first episode, I sat down with three incredible community leaders: Patti Brock, Executive Director of Grand Prairie United Charities; Jean Bondy, Director of Development of Grand Prairie United Charities and a recent addition to their team; and Dr. Bill Skaar, Pastor of First Baptist Church and a longtime GPUC board member. Together, we kicked off a conversation around collaboration, community, and the future of nonprofit storytelling in Grand Prairie.
Patti and Jean will host two 30-minute episodes each month, released bi-monthly, featuring interviews, event previews, leadership tips, and more.
We’re building this as a community-powered platform, and there are several ways to participate:
✅ Be a Guest
Are you part of a nonprofit or civic organization that serves Grand Prairie?
We want to hear from directors, board members, volunteers, and anyone doing the work. Come on the show to talk about your mission, upcoming fundraisers, or how others can help.
📧 To apply, email us at facesofgrandprairie@gmail.com
(We’ll send you a form to share more about your organization.)
✅ Sponsor an Episode
Want to support this initiative and highlight your business?
You can sponsor individual episodes. Your business will be recognized in the recording and linked in our newsletter.
This helps cover the cost of production and keeps the podcast accessible to all.
✅ Become a Community Journalist
Want to attend local nonprofit events for free and build your influence in Grand Prairie? We’re looking for community members to attend and write quick recaps of events for our Substack.
🎟️ Many of these events have ticket costs—but as a community reporter, you get in free and help spread the word through storytelling.
✅ Support What You Hear
If an episode inspires you, don’t stop there—donate, volunteer, or share the organization’s story. Every listen, share, and action helps amplify their mission.
