OUR INSPIRATION
Raindrop Dallas is founded by the individuals who are inspired by the ideals and principles of Hizmet Movement, and serving as the central communicating, coordinating, convening advisory, and resource body for the local Hizmet Community in Dallas.
We offer educational opportunities to our network for increasing professionalism in the areas of leadership, governance, and public relations. We regularly assess the governance, transparency, and accountability of our network of organizations to improve their performance and efficiency. We raise funds to help our network of organizations to fulfill their missions and to implement their projects. We advocate on the local, state, and federal levels to support policies aligned with our network of organizations’ missions. With the establishment of Raindrop Dallas, we aim to build a groundwork that will inform anyone interested in Hizmet Movement activities.
