DACU is a small community-based group, and we rely so much on the generous investment from our community members, both in time and money. Every gift made to DACU goes back into supporting our own community! The gift you make today can provide a stipend for low income community members to find their own empowerment and become civically engaged, or for a neighborhood group to work with a local artist to bring vibrancy to their neighborhood and combat speeding traffic.

Be a part of our own liberation, and join us in this work today!

Thank you for your support!

*Please note that donations to DACU will read as donations to our fiscal sponsor, Rio Grande Community Development Corporation (RGCDC) on billing statements.

When you support DACU, you also support the vibrancy of our County.
