Family Philanthropy
Philanthropy by Design
The Dallas Foundation partners with individuals, couples and families to help them find the joy, purpose and meaning of giving together. We define family philanthropy as two or more people connected through special relationships and focused on making an impact in areas most meaningful to them.
