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.  We raise funds through events, entrepreneurship, and innovation, creating space for BIPOC 'community frontliners' creatives and orgs to thrive in Austin. Become a monthly DAWA member, or just make a donation of any amount!  Thank you!
