What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

There are several excellent non-profit agencies that share Dallas Service Forum's mission of supporting the elderly, youths, and children - - particularly those who are victims of crime, domestic violence or illness, These agencies offer their clients excellent facilities and trained staff but they do NOT have sufficient staffing to meet all their clients' needs. This is where the volunteers of Dallas Junior Forum are able to fill in gaps between agencies' resources and clients' needs with both tactical volunteer support and in-kind donations of food, emergency toiletries, school supplies, and comforting toys. Dallas Service Forum also provides grants to Greater Dallas-area agencies whose missions align with our own. We are proud to support our partner agencies: The Ronald McDonald House of Dallas, Hope's Door, New Beginnings, Dallas Children's Advocacy Center, The Family Place, Juliette Fowler Communities, The Ebby House, and The Network of Community Ministries.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

DSF is committed to serving our fellow North Texans in need as an all-volunteer alliance of women. We focus on children, youth, families and senior citizens.

DSF recognizes that there are many non-profit agencies in our community dedicated to DSF's targeted clients. However, these agencies often need helping hands to meet their clients' needs. DSF creates synergies by leveraging the expertise and facilities of our excellent partner agencies to ensure that our volunteer hours, in-kind donations, and grants deliver the best possible outcome to our beloved community. We are a frugal organization and rely on member expertise to staff our own internal needs: we have no paid staff.

We are a 100% volunteer non-profit organization of women whose diverse backgrounds include education, law enforcement, business, healthcare, information systems, retail, banking, homemaking, early childhood education and engineering. As described previously, we formally align ourselves with trusted partner agencies and support their efforts by providing regularly scheduled and ad hoc volunteer services.

In the 2019-2022 fiscal years Dallas Service Forum:
- contributed over 23,000 uncompensated volunteer hours;
- awarded over $153,000 in grants and funding;
- provided more than 9,500 meals to those in need;
- touched the lives of over 58,000 children, families and the elderly; and
- saved over $800,000 for our service agencies.

What's next?
We will continue serving in ways that allow our partner agencies to use their scarce resources as effectively as possible while our volunteers fill in the gaps. We will continue our 42-year tradition of Service From The Heart.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jun 01 - May 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
