CultureMap recently launched the Dallas Charity Guide, in partnership with Frost’s Opt for Optimism campaign, to create a one-stop resource for locals looking for ways to give back. For the rest of the year, CultureMap will create curated roundups and tell stories showcasing the insightful and innovative ways local charities are shaping our community.
First, we take a comprehensive look at Dallas-Fort Worth children’s charities: the groups, nonprofits, and organizations dedicated to enhancing the lives of kids and their families throughout Central Texas.
