2010 Investees Announced!

DSVP is excited to announce our newest Investees to the portfolio. After a thorough vetting by the Investment Committee, our partners recommended the following two organization to our Board. After approval on Thursday, the public announcement was made at our recent Annual Luncheon.

Thank you to all of our partners who served on the Investment Committee this year! We are excited to move forward with both of these new missions!

Trinity River Mission is a volunteer-based community learning center that serves 450 children per year. Trinity River Mission promotes literacy, encourages academic success and develops effective life skills among disadvantaged youth in West Dallas, in the belief that education connects us to life's possibilities. Lead Partner: Jim Pasant

Vickery Meadow Learning Center is dedicated to improving English literacy levels among non-English speaking adults and children by providing programs in communication and life skills. Vickery Meadow serves 750 adults and 200 children annually and does so in the belief that the ability to understand, read, write and speak English contributes to Independence, productivity and the overall well-being of our students, their families and the greater community.
