$50 Million Campaign to Advance Women’s Economic Security and Leadership In April 2013, Dallas Women’s Foundation launched Unlocking Leadership: The Campaign for Dallas Women’s Foundation, a $50 million comprehensive fundraising campaign to improve the future of North Texas in a way that only the Foundation can – by investing in the economic security and leadership potential of women and girls. In Texas and in Dallas, women are the face of poverty. Women like Karen, a single mother, who works two jobs, earning just $23,870, with more than half allocated for child care and rent. Women like Maria, who at the young age of 17 just gave birth to her second child. Women like Sandy, who is now full-time guardian to her three grandchildren, and hasn’t worked in nearly two decades.
With women most likely to suffer the consequences of poverty, and dramatically underrepresented in leadership positions, we must take action. We must raise the visibility of this issue and the negative impact it has on our community and state. And as the world’s largest regional women’s fund, we have the experience, leadership and vision to set a higher standard for improving our world by investing in women. The results are inspiring: $32.4 million has been raised to date, and more than 4,000 donors are invested in the campaign. Continued on page 10

“Starting out as a volunteer on the grants review committee, it opened my eyes to the need in the community and the ripple effect. Through Dallas Women’s Foundation’s philanthropy education, we learned to be more strategic in how we give. We decided to open a donor advised fund so that our gifts can be made (to organizations), and it helped us stop being so reactive.”
“A gift to Dallas Women’s Foundation is an investment with a long term payoff. They research the issues and collaborate with different organizations that are doing the work helping women and girls. Dallas Women’s Foundation is for everyone – both men and women – coming to the table to make systemic change.”
“Working with Dallas Women’s Foundation has opened our eyes to the importance and significance of helping women and girls in our community. They are really responsible through their grant making and put so much effort in investing our money. We have made gifts to areas that need most support – helping girls in shelters, supporting the sustainability of the organization, making sure that its great work continues.”

I believe positive change begins with a single step toward a larger goal. A conversation, a calculation or often, a realization. In recent years, we have realized that being a woman in Texas – especially a poor woman – has become even harder. Women-led households in Dallas are disproportionately poor. Even women who are living above the poverty line face Roslyn Dawson Thompson significant challenges from low-paying jobs, high costs of child care and housing, and lack of insurance benefits. And there are too few signs in sight that indicate improvement in the status of women and girls in our region and state.
Campaign for Dallas Women’s Foundation, we aim to change the current trajectory of what is possible for women and girls, because when their lives are transformed, our entire region and economy are transformed. This campaign is a commitment to greater investment in critical issues, using innovative approaches and evidencebased models, to drive measurable outcomes toward our goal of strengthening the economic security and leadership potential of women and girls in our community.
For more than 31 years, Dallas Women’s Foundation has unlocked opportunities for women and girls, but now is the time for greater impact. Now is the time to step forward.
But our journey is far from over, and if you have yet to take that first step, I hope you will take it today. Our goal is ambitious, but with each step we make together, a positive future for countless women and girls is within reach. Because when women and girls have what they need, they will become the Strong Women who can – and will – make a Better World.
Now is the “time to step forward. ”
Dallas Women’s Foundation has committed to raise $50 million to invest in solutions that get to the root cause of women’s economic insecurity – and reverse them. Through Unlocking Leadership: The
Thank you to our donors and volunteers who have joined us in our commitment.

Our goal is that this study will lay out the challenges, solutions and what we’ve accomplished so far in education, child care, health insurance and housing, so that community leaders, officials, nonprofit organizations, businesses and donors will work together to improve economic security for Texas women.” She added, “When women are financially secure, families and communities are strong and stable.

trail for other women to follow. On May 9, Dallas Women’s Foundation will honor five remarkable female leaders from our community at the Leadership Forum and Awards Dinner, presented by AT&T. Dallas Women’s Foundation is a proud steward of the prestigious Maura Women Helping Women Award that recognizes exceptional women leaders who have pioneered the way in improving the lives of women and girls, and the Young Leader Award that recognizes women ages 40 and younger for their work opening pathways for women and girls. Each year, I am more amazed at the caliber of women who are nominated and chosen to receive both the Maura and Young Leader Awards.
As Board Chair, I am honored to lead a group of our community’s most dedicated women, a diverse cohort of leaders who are bound by their shared commitment to empower women and girls. Through this experience, I have learned firsthand that leadership cannot be defined by a single trait, but does require certain conditions to flourish. At Dallas Women’s Foundation, we understand Ellenore Knight Baker that in order to make real progress for women and girls, we must strengthen the pipeline of women leaders. We are committed to providing leadership training and opportunities to women and girls, preparing them to lead in the workplace and community. We are making investments and creating strategic partnerships that provide concrete solutions to this critical issue.
I encourage you to join us on May 9, as your support of this special evening is not only an endorsement of the transformational work being done at Dallas Women’s Foundation to empower women and girls, but demonstrates your commitment to support women leaders who are blazing a trail for other women and girls to follow. #StrongWomenBetterWorld

31st Anniversary Luncheon Raises $1.26M Dallas Women’s Foundation celebrated its 31st Annual Luncheon, presented by U.S. Trust, on Oct. 21, by announcing that we are in the midst of a $50M, five-year, comprehensive fundraising campaign. The luncheon, co-chaired by Joyce Goss and Selwyn Rayzor, with honorary chair, Kaleta Doolin, raised $1.26M – bringing the campaign total to $31M on that date. The 1,200 luncheon attendees heard from keynote speaker Candy Chang, and helped launch a community art project. The community art project – “A Better World Is…” – was inspired by the work of artist and activist Candy Chang, who aims her art installations at engaging community participation that helps create
bridges for understanding and healing. The project, premiered at the annual luncheon, featured responses from women and girls served by nearly 100 of Dallas Women’s Foundation’s grantee partners. These handwritten responses to the prompt “A Better World Is…” were thought-provoking, funny and, at times, heart-breaking. Attendees at the luncheon were challenged to participate as well, either in-person or at www.abetterworld.is. The art project was then installed at Southwest Center Mall, NorthPark Center and the StewPot in early November, enabling the broader community to participate.

First-time Grantees Advance Girls’ Leadership Today’s girl lives in a media-intense culture dominated by celebrities and entertainers as role models, and where identity often depends on what she looks like more than what she thinks. Girls struggle to find strong, independent, self-sufficient women role models, and for girls living in or near poverty, the struggle is often greater. To make real progress for girls on all fronts, we must strengthen the pipeline of women leaders -- from the classroom to the first job, the executive suite, the board room and the political arena. This past fall, Dallas Women’s Foundation partnered with Cristo Rey Dallas College Preparatory School and Trinity River Mission in advancing our commitment to empower women and girls to lead. Both organizations are first-time grants recipients, and provide leadership training and programming for girls. 8

It opens my eyes to see that I have to love myself before loving anyone else. The other day when I was in Inner Beauty Club, we talked about insecurities. At first, I didn’t want my peers to know my insecurities. I felt like if I talked they would have the power to hurt me. On the contrary, I came to see that we all share these insecurities. I am truly learning to love myself, and to know my worth.”

Board Alumnae grant to NTARuPT Board Alumnae gathered on January 26 to present a $30,000 grant to The North Texas Alliance to Reduce Teen Pregnancy (NTARuPT) from the Virginia B. Whitehill Board Alumnae Donor Advised Fund at Dallas Women’s Foundation. NTARuPT seeks to improve the quality of life for children, families and communities by preventing unintended teen pregnancies. Founder & CEO, Terry Greenberg, accepted the grant and gave a presentation to the board alumnae about the program and its inception. In 2013, a group of local non-profits, including Dallas Women’s Foundation; concerned citizens; health care providers; and educators came together with a shared concern to reduce the teen pregnancy rate in North Texas. Texas has the fourth highest rate of teen pregnancies in the nation; and in Dallas’ five highest poverty zip codes, teen birth rates are at or above 100/1,000 girls,
which is similar to the rates in Sub-Saharan African countries. Evidence shows that teen pregnancy can create a significant barrier to the economic success of young women and the children born to adolescents are more likely to live in poverty and have poorer educational, behavioral and health outcomes. “The board alumnae of Dallas Women’s Foundation are proud to support such an effective organization that is changing the
lives of women and girls in our community,” said Gail Griswold, Board Alumnae Steering Committee Co-Chair. “This investment will raise awareness about the rate of teen pregnancies, and help them find solutions for this growing issue. We want these young girls to have an opportunity to plan their successful futures without barriers before becoming parents,” said Margot Murphy, Board Alumnae Co-Chair.

“Members of the XIX Society are proud to award our second grant to the Housing Crisis Center,” said Wendy Messman, XIX Society 2016 Steering Committee Chair. “Our $30,000 investment helps stabilize those at risk in decent affordable and permanent housing. This allows for women who may be in domestic violence relationships to flee violent situations and receive the financial education they need to become independent.

$50 Million Campaign (Continued from page 1) But this campaign is about more than the dollar goal. It is about the women and girls who will now have the financial capability they need to complete their education, support their family or lead a business. It is about the bold investments that amplify our impact on women and girls. The economic security of women and girls is critical not only for women and their families, but to everyone in the state of Texas. This campaign is a direct investment in our shared future.
