As a business, our job is to empower communities all over the nation. We live out that principle through getting involved in our own community here in Dallas by supporting several amazing organizations. One of our favorites is the Dallas Women’s Foundation.
The DWF strengthens the entire community by increasing the investment in women and girls and empowering women’s philanthropy. In addition, they have poured more than $13 million into 950 community service organizations in North Texas. This has made it possible to lift the hopes and lighten the load of 250,000 “at risk” women and girls in the area.
We believe in them so much that we have contributed over $1.5 million in support of the Foundation’s grants, research and initiatives. In addition to the company’s support, our founder Nancy Richards serves on the Advisory Board of the Dallas Women’s Foundation.
First Preston founders Nancy T. Richards and President Lisa Barrentine were recently honored as “Longstanding Patron Partners” for their history of service and support for the Dallas Women’s Foundation.
The DFW’s mission of “Lifting communities by investing in women” is a perfect match for our company and our founders.
