The Dallas Community
Foundation is a non-profit corporation established in 1995 to
benefit the people of the Dallas area. We provide financial
support for educational, social, recreational, and cultural
programs in the Dallas area, directly serving youth, seniors,
and those in need. We also administer scholarship funds. The
foundation is only possible because of the financial
contributions of people like you. A donation to the Foundation
is truly an investment in the Dallas area, connecting those who
care with causes that matter.
Who are we?
We are part of the community,
just like you. We are professionals, citizens, civic leaders,
and volunteers. We are passionate about the special place where
we live, work and raise our families. The founders of Dallas and
those before us invested in the community, making a mark for
future generations to come. It is in this spirit that we make
our mark on the programs and activities that support our local
community today and tomorrow. We serve on the board with a sense
of pride, but also with a strong sense of responsibility and
stewardship. For a list of board members and staff,

History
The idea of a community foundation, an opportunity to establish
a local fund that could give back to the Dallas community,
originated with the Dallas Rotary Club. In 1995, a group of 9
men and women, sharing this vision, established the Dallas
Community Foundation. These individuals strongly valued and
believed in their community. Each contributed $25 to establish
an account. They went out into the community, raised funds, and
established an investment fund. That was 15 years ago.
Today, the fund is valued at
over $1,500,000, and has given back nearly $400,000 in
scholarships and grants to the Dallas community.
