Dawson Community Foundation
Organized under the umbrella of Southwest Initiative Foundation, the Dawson Community Foundation is a vehicle for making charitable contributions for the benefit of the community through a permanent endowment fund that enables people to give back and fulfill the dreams for tomorrow. A local advisory board provides oversight and directs how funds will be used for the exclusive benefit of the Dawson area.
