Community Partners
Community Partnerships
WE ARE involved and invested in the diverse community of our DFW Metroplex
We partner with nonprofits, interfaith groups, community organizations, schools, and business groups in service to creating a world that works for everyone. We believe in the power of two – joining forces with those who are already doing great work in the world and sharing resources of time, people and money. CSLDallas is always looking for partners who are focused on teaching and empowering people to learn, grow, become and thrive in whatever way they can. We are proud to share our current community partners with you.
Non-Profit Partners
Every year our community nominates their favorite local nonprofits and then votes for the 4 we will support with money and volunteer hours. Each nonprofit partner chosen receives a portion of our annual tithe. These are distributed once per quarter. We hold that vision that over time our Nonprofit Partners become like a second family to us. We love to be connected spiritually with folks who are doing great work in the world while living in alignment with our spiritual practice of the Law of Circulation. We are deeply grateful to our generous community for supporting CSLDallas so we in turn can support these other great organizations!
