Community Action Projects

One of the things we’ve learned at DDF is the power and the importance of community based work to create real change in communities. Individuals rightly want to be a part of something that makes a difference but don't always know how to go about it.

We've developed a series of community based projects that you and other folks in your hometown or neighborhood can participate in.

In each case we've outlined the problem and a potential solution and given you a step by step guide for each project including sample letters, press materials and other collateral materials to move your project forward.

Not all of these projects can be completed in a day or even a week. But none of them require a full time commitment, just a commitment to getting it done.
