Our fund supports individuals and families facing hardship and crisis.

$153,000 of direct financial assistance has been distributed over the last 2 years to BIPOC Community Frontliners, and we are excited to continue our services in Austin, but please be patient as we work to improve our programming and infrastructure over the next few months.

We will be back soon, better than ever!

About DAWA

Mission

DAWA honors, celebrates, and empowers the essential work of community frontliners and creatives of color through direct financial support, and culturally relevant health-centered programming.

Vision

We believe medicine can mean meeting people where they are at with practical, immediate resources that can bridge the gap in times of need. We believe that musicians, artists, social workers, healthcare providers, and service industry workers are medicine to our community, and work to create a world where their gifts are highly valued and protected.

Strategy

Every dollar counts. Become a monthly DAWA member, or just make a donation of any amount! 100% of donations provide financial support to People Of Color facing mental health crisis. Thank you!
