I’m a Funder

When your institution invests in people and removes the barriers that hold them back, you deliver on your mission to create stronger families, healthier neighborhoods, and more resilient communities. Supporting the work of DTRF enables your organization to expand access to education, stimulate local economies, strengthen health, and foster social trust — not just for Descendants but for all those living in their communities.

Through scholarships, elder care, and truth-telling, the Foundation:

• Increases college access and completion rates
• Creates jobs for contractors, caregivers, and clinicians
• Reduces costly hospitalizations and unnecessary services
• Sparks civic dialogue and cultural renewal

The work of DTRF is rooted in community and prioritizes measurable outcomes and generational impact. It’s also guided by shared leadership, with Descendants and Jesuits shaping the future together.

DTRF welcomes both public and private forms of partnership, giving you the flexibility you need to advance this work.
