Dallas Leadership Foundation
Dallas Leadership Foundation plays a vital role in the city by linking businesses, churches, and civic groups along with their resources to communities of need. DLF’s community revitalization efforts currently impact six Dallas neighborhoods: Wynnewood Heights; Bertrand; Ideal; Frazier; Owenwood, and most recently Hamilton Park neighborhoods.
As compared with other initiatives that provide rehabilitation services throughout the city, DLF’s community development efforts, concentrate on more comprehensive, long term, community-based projects. We focus our efforts in particular neighborhoods for faster, more visible change in order to bring hope to the residents who live there. DLF’s community development goal is to restore neighborhoods so that all can enjoy the blessings and benefits of true community…we believe where there is healthy community people have the opportunity to fulfill their God-given destiny.
