Dallas is facing a significant teacher shortage, with nearly 45% of new hires entering the profession uncertified. That’s why we’re proud to support the Corps Member Pathways to Teaching initiative, launched by City Year Dallas and Uplift Education. This program offers scholarships for alternative teacher certification, removing financial barriers and fostering a pipeline of qualified educators.

As International Women’s Month comes to a close, I’m reflecting on the incredible impact women have when we come together to drive change. Last week, I had the privilege of joining the Lake Highlands Women's League to share how The Dallas Foundation is working to support local nonprofits and invest in solutions that create lasting impact. This conversation reinforced what the Mary M. Jalonick Women’s Philanthropy Institute has long highlighted—when women unite in philanthropy, our collective giving transforms communities. Thank you to the Lake Highlands Women’s League for your commitment to making a difference—your dedication is a true example of the lasting impact women can create! #InternationalWomensMonth #WomenInPhilanthropy
