Since founding in 2017, VGC has gifted $1.1 million to support nonprofits in the DFW area, serving Dallas, Denton Collin and Tarrant Counties. It was launched by nine African-American women who believed they had the power to help transform the community by investing collective resources.
VGC supports organizations and initiatives that address major obstacles facing the African-American community. Areas of impact include arts and culture, education, economic security, health, social services, youth, and seniors.
