Thank you for joining us at the DJCF/SWCF Annual Meeting! We’re truly grateful for the chance to connect with so many of you. Your presence helped make the event a success, and we hope you took away meaningful insight from our speaker, Mark Gerson, and enjoyed the evening.

We are proud that 2025 was a record year for us. Through our fundholders’ generosity, we granted out $41 million to over 1,700 charitable organizations last year. These gifts have enabled nonprofits throughout Dallas and worldwide to support critical needs and invest in the next generation of philanthropists and leaders.
