In celebration of Dallas Arts Month, Communities Foundation of Texas is presenting North Texas Gives to the Arts, a fundraising campaign that lives on the NorthTexasGivingDay.org platform. The campaign—which runs through April 30—includes $100,000 in total matching funds from The Giana Foundation Fund, the Robert B. and Virginia Payne Fund for Arts & Culture, and CFT. 

An art installation of 250 large, hand-made origami stars will appear later this month over the ice rink at Galleria Dallas. The vibrant work aims to advance the mission of Paper for Water, a nonprofit that's raising awareness of the global water crisis and the nonprofit's mission to bring clean water to communities worldwide. The charity was founded in 2011 by sisters Isabelle and Katherine Adams—then 8 and 5 years old—after they learned that a child was dying every 15 seconds from unclean water and that millions of girls like them were spending their day hauling water rather than attending school.
