Dilworth Community Funds. Lasting Community Impact.
Dilworth Cares is the charitable committee of the DCA.
Dilworth Cares facilitates opportunities for each of us, as part of the community, to show our concern for others. We are committed to promoting opportunities for our neighbors to serve those in need, both financially and through volunteer activities.
Dilworth is the only local community that has a charitable arm committed to the regular support of other non-profits!
Fundraisers
Dilworth Cares serves as the charitable steward of the Dilworth Community Association, directing funds to nonprofit organizations either located within Dilworth or whose work meaningfully serves and strengthens the Dilworth community. Dilworth Cares envisions a stronger, more connected Dilworth community supported by thoughtful, sustained engagement with nonprofit organizations. Funds distributed by Dilworth Cares are generated through community-supported Dilworth Community Association events, including Dilworth Home Tour ticket sales and the annual Holiday Ladies Party. A nonprofit organization is selected by a committee, led by a member of the DCA Board, for a two-year term. During that period, the selected nonprofit can expect to receive funds raised during each calendar year of its designation, ensuring meaningful and consistent impact within our community.
Importantly, so many of our wonderful neighborhood businesses provide donations for DCA events, from food and services to unique gifts and gift certificates. It is the support of these generous businesses that makes our fundraising efforts so successful. Please share our gratitude and support our local businesses!
