DONORS
GIVe where you live
As a foundation, we are here to help generous donors who want their charitable giving to make a long-lasting impact on the communities they love and call home. We offer a wide range of giving options, for gifts big and small. You’d be surprised how quickly even $25 donations add up! If you decide to ‘Give Where You Live,’ we have a variety of tools and assistance for individuals, families, and businesses to contribute to a local cause or situation that matters deeply to them.
PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS
ALIGN CLIENT PASSIONS WITH PLANNING
The impact of our foundation would not be possible without the community of professional attorneys, accountants, financial planners, bankers, and life insurance representatives that work with us. These professional advisors make themselves available to help donors align their passions with planning. Because of their efforts, our foundation can help integrate charitable giving within estate and financial plans, facilitate anonymous giving, and assist with complex gift instruments.
NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION

As a responsive and proactive partner, our foundation seeks to address existing and emerging issues in Dallas County. We accept grant applications annually from charitable projects and programs in the community that address a wide range of needs: Health, Human Services, Arts & Culture, Historic Preservation, and Environment.
