Philanthropic Partnerships
For nearly a century, The Dallas Foundation has connected people to the causes they care about—improving lives and making visible progress throughout North Texas. We manage the philanthropic resources of our fundholders and engage with donors on a deeply personal level – listening, advising, and educating on measurable solutions that move the needle in our community. We provide donors and their professional advisors with simple, effective tools to achieve their philanthropic goals. And, for donors who have entrusted the Foundation with their legacy giving, The Dallas Foundation serves as stewards of their charitable legacy long after their lifetime.
