The DAYL Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization in Dallas that has a history of giving back.  Since it became a granting body in 1999, the DAYL Foundation has given over $230,000 in grants to local non-profit organizations that support legal education, legal aid, and other law and justice-related causes.
