Even before the Dallas Wings Community Foundation officially launched Mar. 1, the nonprofit affiliated with WNBA’s Dallas Wings was having an impact.
It partnered with the American Fidelity Foundation and OurCalling to respond to the emergency needs of those affected by February’s winter storm and subsequent power outages, raising more than $124,000 with 674 donors.

“The Dallas Wings Community Foundation is dedicated to responding to the needs of our community with a goal to improve the quality of life for our neighbors in need,” said Dallas Wings Foundation Executive Director LaDondra Wilson. “We understand that the needs are plentiful and will continue beyond the recent weather conditions, and we are committed to answering the call of service throughout the DFW region.”
