Dallas Junior Forum (DJF), a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization, was organized in 1977 to create greater interest among women in civic, educational and philanthropic endeavors in our community through volunteer work focused on children, families and the elderly. DJF is one of ten chapters of Junior Forums, Incorporated, a Texas-based service organization originating in Houston in 1959.
Since our inception, DJF has donated thousands of volunteer service hours to charitable agencies we support. During our 2005-06 fiscal year, with a membership of approximately 75 active and 33 sustaining members, DJF provided over 4,000 actual service hours to non-profit agencies. Those agencies include:
 
Dallas Children's Advocacy Center

Frisco Family Services Center

Hope's Door

Juliette Fowler Homes
DJF
DJF Kids on the Block

Neighborhood Service Council

Ronald McDonald House

Wipe Out Kids' Cancer
 
DJF has also donated over one quarter of a million dollars in service grants to qualified non-profit agencies we support. Funding for these grants has been a direct result of profits from our annual Spring Fling fundraiser luncheon and the sales of our two award-winning DJF cookbooks, Tuxedos to Tailgates and Deep in the Heart.
