Dallas Community Foundation


 

ABOUT US

It all started with an idea – a charitable fund that would benefit the present and future needs of the Dallas community. In 1995, that idea was transformed into reality with the establishment of the Dallas Community Foundation. The Foundation helps people put their charitable dollars into their own community, giving a hand up to those in need. With over $2 million in assets under management, the Foundation gives back to the Dallas community through an annual grant and scholarship distribution.

The Foundation is governed by a 9-member board of directors, who are very much a part of the Dallas community. They are professionals, citizens, and civic leaders, passionate about this special place where they live, work and raise their families. An administrator provides support to the board and monitors the grant and scholarship programs. Foundation funds are professionally invested by Becker Capital Management, headquartered in Portland Oregon.
