bigBANG & Texas Social Innovation Initiative

Over the last year, DSVP has had the pleasure of developing a partnership with One Star Foundation and Root Cause to help cultivate socially innovative nonprofits here in North Texas. After a competitive application process, seven socially innovative nonprofits were announced at the recent Governor's Nonprofit Leadership Conference.

Each of seven innovative nonprofit organizations, who competed among 60 nonprofits in Greater Dallas/Forth Worth, will receive more than $25,000 in assistance to support their growth and impact. In addition, they will also be given the opportunity to "pitch" their organization to the community on the Fast Pitch stage at the upcoming June 10th bigBANG event.

We are excited to announce the seven following nonprofits who have been identified as social innovators in North Texas. You wont want to miss hearing more about the innovative work they are doing and their future direction.

• Big Brothers Big Sisters of North Texas
  
• Central Dallas Ministries
• Dallas Concilio of Hispanic Service Organizations
• H.I.S. BridgeBuilders
• Rainbow Days, Inc.
• Shared Housing Center, Inc.
• Vision Regeneration, Inc.
