BY ENGAGING PHILANTHROPISTS AND PROVIDING THEM WITH A PORTFOLIO OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, DGW ENABLES GREATER POSITIVE AND LONGER-LASTING IMPACT WHILE ADDRESSING COMPLEX PROBLEMS LIKE HOMELESSNESS, GUN VIOLENCE, FOOD SECURITY, AND EDUCATIONAL INEQUALITY WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN THE PHILADELPHIA AREA.

Activities or mission (Part I)

BRING PHILANTHROPISTS AND ORGANIZATIONS TOGETHER TO SOLVE COMPLEX SOCIAL ISSUES THROUGH COORDINATED, MEASURABLE COLLABORATION.

  • DGW WILL PLAY A THREE-FOLD ROLE IN THESE COLLABORATIVES: (1) BUILDING THE COLLABORATIVE BY IDENTIFYING ORGANIZATIONS WITH THE APPROPRIATE SUBJECT MATTER AND GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS AND BRINGING THOSE ORGANIZATIONS TOGETHER AROUND A SPECIFIC SET OF GOALS; (2) PROVIDING GRANTS TO THE COLLABORATIVE'S ORGANIZATIONS TO FUND THE ACTIVITIES IN FURTHERANCE OF THOSE GOALS; (3) GATHERING INFORMATION REGARDING THE IMPACT OF THE COLLABORATIVE AND USING THAT INFORMATION TO INFORM DONORS OF THE DIRECT RESULTS OF THEIR GIFTS AND TO ADJUST THE GOALS AND PLANS OF THE COLLABORATIVE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
