More than 100 guests attended a recognition event for the grantees at the Frito-Lay headquarters. Special guests included the Orchid Giving Circle, The Latina Giving Circle (H100) and the Texas Women’s Foundation.

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.
