Support the Dallas Woman’s Forum on North Texas Giving Day
Preserving a Landmark. Supporting Women and Children.
When you give to the Dallas Woman’s Forum, you help preserve one of Dallas’s few remaining historic homes—Alexander Mansion, built in 1904—and support local women and children through education and community outreach.
Since its beginning in 1906, the Forum has been led entirely by women volunteers. Our legacy is one of strength, learning, and service. Today, your donation helps continue that legacy.
Your gift makes a lasting impact:
Preserve the Past
Recent restoration projects have included restoring a hand-laid mosaic floor, repairing historic plaster and replacing wallpaper, and preserving the woodwork around the Mansion’s iconic ten-foot-tall stained glass window.
This year, we aim to raise funds to restore the original wood windows, repaint the historic trim, and restore the iconic front porch of the Alexander Mansion.
Empower the Future
We support women and children through hands-on outreach. Your donations help provide school supplies and support to students and staff at Birdie Alexander Elementary and Landauer ChildCare Center Head Start. We also collect and distribute donations for several nonprofits focused on serving families in need.
Why Give?
The Alexander Mansion has hosted weddings, teas, recitals, and milestone events for generations. Perhaps you’ve climbed the grand stair, admired the stained glass, or celebrated a special moment under its chandeliers.
Your gift helps preserve these memories—and makes space for new ones.
But the Mansion is more than a beautiful backdrop. It’s a living part of Dallas history and a hub for women who want to make a difference.
When you give to the Dallas Woman’s Forum, you help us:
Restore historic craftsmanship that can't be replicated today
Create a welcoming space for community events, music performances, and educational programs
Support local women and children through outreach efforts—providing supplies, encouragement, and a sense of belonging
Every donation keeps the doors open and the mission alive. Your support means this house, and the heart behind it, continues to serve the next generation.
Because of you, the past is honored, the present is meaningful, and the future is brighter.
“In today’s world of fast media and constant change, the Dallas Woman’s Forum offers something rare—a place to slow down, embrace our community values, honor tradition, and celebrate learning and growth. When we invest in each other, we shape a stronger future for Dallas.”
