Lead the Future.
DLC members come from a diverse group of non-profit organizations, from small, local social service groups to international non-governmental organizations.
Our Partners
Many generous organizations have hosted DLC fellows sessions. Hosts give formal presentations and share informal advice about working in the fundraising arena and the nonprofit community in general. The DLC would like to thank all of its Program Partners, past and present.
