About DEAF ACTION CENTER

Deaf Action Center (DAC) is a Dallas-based 501(c)(3) organization that provides advocacy, communication access, and supportive services for people who are deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing across North Texas. The organization operates on three pillars—Advocacy, Communication, and Empowerment (A.C.E.)—and offers interpreting/CART, case management, housing assistance, senior services, youth transition programming, and education/webcast resources. DAC maintains interpreter and captioning services for medical, educational, business, and community settings (including 24/7 coverage for urgent needs), operates programs aimed at workforce transition for deaf youth, and provides housing- and senior-focused supports. Over the last 2–3 years the organization has grown program capacity and secured significant local grant support to expand services. This profile was prepared after verifying the EIN (75-1575599) against nonprofit filings and public nonprofit registries and cross-checking the charity's own website and recent Form 990 summaries to confirm active operations and donor-facing programs.

Notable achievements

Secured multi-year, six-figure philanthropic support

In the past few years DAC has received significant grant awards from regional funders (including multi-hundred-thousand-dollar grants from local foundations and community funders) to expand services and organizational capacity.

Expanded communication-access services

DAC expanded its interpreting and captioning offerings—including ASL interpreting and CART services for medical, educational, and emergency settings—and increased availability to support 24/7 urgent interpreting needs and virtual webcast programming.

Growth of targeted programs (youth, seniors, housing)

DAC developed and scaled programs such as a Youth Transition workforce-readiness initiative, senior-focused services, and housing-related assistance to address barriers specific to Deaf and Hard of Hearing community members.
