The Dallas Foundation is a mid-sized nonprofit organization based in Dallas, Texas, founded in 1929 as the first community foundation in the state. It acts as a trusted partner and steward for donors' philanthropic visions, supporting both donors and professional advisors as they align resources with community needs. Through grants across a broad range of charitable purposes—including arts, education, early childhood development, environment, health, aging, and human and social services—it seeks to improve the well-being of North Texans and beyond.

Beyond grantmaking, the foundation convenes diverse stakeholders to drive strategic investments and pilot approaches that yield measurable outcomes in early childhood and foster innovation within Dallas' nonprofit sector. Since its inception, it has facilitated more than $1 billion in grants, and in December 2024 it began partnering with Fair Park First to manage donations and ensure they are used for their intended purposes.
