Service Project

Support United Way of Metropolitan Dallas - Dollars for College to help expand access to affordable, long-term college savings accounts for low- and moderate-income families. The program seeds college savings accounts, helping put students on a path to college attendance and completion. Research shows that low- to moderate-income children with even a small amount of college savings are three times more likely to attend college and four times more likely to graduate. With a contribution to Dollars for College, you can help a local student achieve their dreams of attending and completing college—key education milestones that lead to improved financial security and greater overall health. A donation of $50 will seed one child’s savings account, your gift can be matched up to $100! Help TACAC meet our goal of seeding 100 child savings accounts with a gift today! Every $50 donation will receive a very cute thank you gift in appreciation.
