AAGD Donates $20,000 to Local Charities Providing COVID-19 Relief
AAGD Donates $20,000 To Local Charities For COVID-19 Relief
Due to the impact COVID-19 has made on our local community, The Apartment Association of Greater Dallas has made a commitment to help support local organizations across the City of Dallas that are working to provide relief to those impacted. The AAGD Board of Directors approved $20,000 to be donated to local organizations in Dallas. With the allocated funds, AAGD staff reached out to several Dallas City Councilmembers (CM) to help identify local organizations and then selected organizations that are geographically well-positioned across the city to have the greatest impact.
Join AAGD in supporting local organizations in Dallas and share your support stories
Along with this announcement we are launching our #OneBigMultifamily campaign, to encourage each of you, our members, to help us in supporting these organizations. We want all of our members to inspire others and share how they care.
Here is how you can share; share your good fortune, share your time, share your resources, and share your stories on social media. When you share your stories, be sure to tag the Apartment Association of Greater Dallas and use #OneBigMultifamily in your post.
