For almost 100 years, The Dallas Foundation has shared our expertise, leadership, and the opportunity to co-invest in responding to our community’s greatest needs. It is because of this legacy that we have earned our reputation for being a trusted partner and resource for individuals and families wanting to make a meaningful impact.
Through our board-directed grants, the Foundation also takes an active and focused role driving impact on key community issues, primarily framed in the context of our strategic priorities: Ensuring a Strong and Healthy Start for children and Community and Economic Resilience
Our team has put together this giving guide to showcase The Dallas Foundation’s most recent grantees across these priorities as well as our Community Impact and Field of Interest funds. We have also included a number of collaborative giving opportunities hosted by the Foundation that allow you to co-invest alongside other donors.
We realize that you may have charitable interests beyond those listed here and, at the same time, take seriously our role in elevating organizations that work within our priority areas so that, together, we can move our community forward. I invite you to call on our team to discover and discuss additional opportunities to invest your philanthropic resources.
I hope this guide serves as a source of inspiration, fosters meaningful community connections, and nurtures your generous spirit.
My best,
Julie Diaz President & CEO jdiaz@dallasfoundation.org
