Where every dollar goes

  • Straight to supplies

    Beads, cord, charms, cardstock, and gift packaging for service events.

  • Tracked by our Treasurer

    Our Treasurer manages donations, budgets, and financial records.

  • Honest about status

    D4D is a student-led community organization, not a registered 501(c)(3), so donations are not tax-deductible. Every dollar goes to supplies and service projects, and our Treasurer keeps a record of all funds.
