Our vision
Our Mission
Founding Story :
Sensing the need and fueled by passion for sustainable impact, DAL was born from a deep belief that modern philanthropy can no longer rely on fragmented efforts or individual initiatives. It requires a holistic knowledge system that redefines the relationship between active individuals, conscious institutions, and diverse community networks. Against this backdrop, DAL emerged as a strategic response to intrinsic societal needs: to manage philanthropic efforts with knowledge, design initiatives with realistic understanding, and shape policies using governance and data tools. DAL is not the start of a project—it is the culmination of a journey marked by expertise and a sincere desire to empower the non-profit sector through sustainability, partnership, and scientific thinking.

- Build a supportive and effective communication environment.
- Enrich and produce knowledge (textual, visual, audio).
