Dallas Doing Good is Keeping Up With the Good Work

Here to create and share stories that support good news and good work in Dallas-Fort Worth, in partnership with the Good Foundation.

Dallas Doing Good creates a transformational impact by sharing stories that highlight good news and support meaningful work in our communities. Through interviews with change-makers, volunteer listings, and a robust event calendar, we inspire DFW residents to give back and get involved with local causes.

Our editorial team and Dallas Doing Good Fellows purposefully report on helpers, leaders, entrepreneurs, and solutions across the region, with a focus on collaboration and long-term impact. As part of our commitment to strengthening the local news ecosystem, we partner with organizations like Communities Foundation of Texas and Cornerstone Crossroads Academy to amplify impact storytelling initiatives and provide journalism training for young adults through our fellowship program.

A Cause for Good

Our strategic partnership with the Good Foundation focuses on promoting social reform and advocacy in the areas that need it most. By sharing resources and passion, together we are able to advance our causes of enriching and supporting the people and communities of Dallas.
