WELCOME TO MAKE THE DASH COUNT
WHY THE DASH?
The
DASH refers to the little horizontal
line on our gravestones; the one between the date we are born and the date we pass away. The
DASH represents everything in between
and how we choose to live it.
OUR VISION
The vision of the Make the
DASH
Count Foundation is to create an army of youth
philanthropists who will serve as community leaders throughout their lives.
OUR MISSION
To inspire and empower the youth in our communities to become the next
generation of philanthropic leaders by actively engaging them in a process
of philanthropy that serves young people at risk of not fulfilling their
potential.
OUR STRATEGY
Founder Hope Moore has always believed
that the power to make a difference exists in all of us. In 2003, she established
the Make the
DASH
Count Foundation (a 501(c)3
nonprofit organization) to educate youth,
including her own son, in the responsibilities of community leadership and charitable
giving. The Foundation operates through community based youth boards comprised of high-school-age
youth who serve as stewards of the foundation's grantmaking process, annually awarding grant monies
to nonprofit organizations serving at-risk youth.
MAKING YOUR DASH COUNT
There are several ways for interested individuals
to become involved with the Foundation's work. We welcome new youth board members, online
grant inquires and individuals seeking to financially support the work of the youth boards.
