Letter from DGT’s New Executive Director, MiaLisa Millares

Dear Friends, Champions, and Supporters,

This past year, 2022, has been a year of reconnection for Doing Good Together™ (DGT™). We have returned to doing our Family Service Fairs™ in person and have co-created much joy with communities, faith groups, and schools!

Thanks to our incredibly generous supporters, we continue to provide innovations, respond to family needs, create new projects, curate family volunteer opportunities, and reach out to the community through new platforms. 

Our organization continues to produce high-quality content that families need while providing the tools to connect with service opportunities and learning. While connecting with the community in person, we continued to increase our digital offerings by expanding our DGT Classroom to a second year of lessons. We also created our third annual all-virtual Festival of Giving and offered virtual Zoom webinars. Our reach is substantial in connecting with families across the United States and abroad with our messages of hope, kindness, love, sharing, and the common good.

This year, we said goodbye to some loved staff members as they moved on to new adventures, and we welcomed three new talented additions to our staff. Our new Miami Family Service Fair Coordinator; a Senior Editor; and a new Marketing, Communications, and Sales Director all bring new energy and talents to the excellent work we do at Doing Good Together. 

We also recruited and trained new board members that bring a diversity of experience to our team. Our steadfast and supportive Board of Directors provided thoughtful guidance and support throughout the year. Our incredible volunteers and kind community partners continued to blossom. And our generous and loyal donors continued their steadfast support enabling our reach to go farther than ever. 

Our new strategic plan focuses on being out and about with the community, providing opportunities for connection and service. With a focus on Family Service Fairs, we made substantial progress and achieved many ambitious goals, including creating new resources, growing our membership, and deepening collaborations.

As you read about our latest resources and creative partnerships, we hope you continue to feel inspired by our enduring vision: to build a world where sharing kindness and helping others is a routine part of every family’s daily life. 

Thank you for believing in the common good, spreading kindness, championing our cause, and providing your support. 

Together, we make the world a better place.

With gratitude,

MiaLisa Millares
