2022-23 Financials

Membership

Our Membership Circle continues to grow! This year, not only did we create a new series of lessons for DGT Classroom, but we also revised the DGT Family membership platform for a better user experience.

New Staff Members

A big welcome to our two new staff members, Jessica Neary, Senior Editor, and Emily Topinka, Volunteer Listings Coordinator! We are excited to have them on board as a part of the Doing Good Together team.

Festival of Giving

At this year’s Festival of Giving, Rebecca Rolland, author of The Art of Talking to Children, joined us to chat about her book and empathy in children. We also had Maria Dismondy, the author of Buddy the Bucket Filler, read her new story and share some great techniques for growing kindness in children.

My Buddy Bench Project

We partnered with My Buddy Bench Project to help get the word out about all of our free Miami-Dade resources like Classroom Year 1, 2, and 3, our Spanish and English Kitchen Kindness kit, etc.

Casa De Corazón

We partnered with Casa De Corazón as a sponsor and supported their 1K with a booth and activities and continue collaborating on social media.

Give As We Grow

We partnered with Give As We Grow, a video game about kindness and generosity that was featured on Good Morning America, as one of the resources on kindness.

Global Peace Women

Working collaboratively with Global Peace Women, we created a Family Chats workbook used for trainers to be able to help guide difficult and productive family conversations. The workbook provides opportunities for families to have meaningful, honest chats together.

Thrivent Charitable

This year we worked with Thrivent Charitable to provide a webinar on philanthropic giving, an article for their community, and an informational sheet on Philanthropic Giving for their clients.

This group provided funding for our staff to work with three schools to provide Family Service Fairs to communities that would not have been able to provide them.
