NVEST IN THE CAMPAIGN FOR DALLAS WOMEN’S

FOUNDATION. YOU ARE THE KEY TO UNLOCKING THE FUTURE FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS. YOU ARE THE KEY TO CHANGING OUR WORLD.

This Campaign Is Personal Thirty years ago, a diverse group of 19 women came together to form Dallas Women’s Foundation. They have been followed by hundreds of dedicated, visionary board members, volunteers and staff who believe in the power of the ripple effect created by investing in women and girls.

All of these – board members, volunteers and staff – understood that the issues are complex, and the road to resolving them is long. Yet they pressed forward, unwilling to accept the disparities impacting women and girls.

All of these made a deep and abiding commitment to advancing women’s economic security and leadership, and unleashing a transformational impact on our community.

Today, we represent the next generation of volunteers who have embraced that commitment.

We have made it our mission to steward and grow the resources of the Foundation, so that it can extend its reach to even more women and girls in North Texas.

This is why we talk about the Unlocking Leadership campaign as being about more than the dollar goal. Every gift in this

campaign will impact the lives of thousands of women for years to come.

And this campaign is personal – to each of us, and to every one of these women and girls.

Each has the potential to create transformational change, in her own life, her family’s lives and her community. Join us in unlocking it.

Invest in the Campaign for Dallas Women’s Foundation.

You are the key to unlocking the future for women and girls. You are the key to changing our world.
