Make an impactful change in 4 social impact organizations in Dominican Republic through the exceptional Dana Juett Residency—a celebrated initiative designed to empower young professionals as trailblazers in venture philanthropy. Rooted in the inspiring legacy of the late Dana Juett and established by Social Venture Partners of Dallas, this transformative program offers an immersive residency experience that harnesses the unique skills and passions of young leaders to elevate the impact of organizations and initiatives they care deeply about.

Setting itself apart, the Dana Juett Residency transcends traditional notions of volunteerism and grant-making, offering hands-on learning and practical opportunities for residents to build lasting, meaningful contributions within their communities.

This year's cohort is raising funds for the social impact organizations below:

Inspire DR (Boys’ Leadership Development) Equipping young boys with essential education, skills, and resources to grow into confident leaders.
