WHAT WE DO

DAWA (Diversity Awareness & Wellness in Action) is a community-centered nonprofit that invests in the people who uplift our communities. Our programs operate in cycles and are sustained through members, donors, grants and local partners.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe in a world where DIVERSITY is a source of strength, AWARENESS normalizes challenging the status quo, WELLNESS is a collective journey, and ACTION means equitable investment of time and resources to historically underrepresented populations.
