DACU Auction of Innovative Services

There are three ways you can help Doña Ana Communities United on this auction site:

*Bid for innovative services
*Buy tickets for our networking fundraiser on 12/8
*Make a donation

All contributions will be used to keep our two main initiatives, timebanking and participatory mapping, free for county residents.

Your contribution will be matched! This is a Paso del Norte Foundation Challenge Fund Event. For every dollar up to $5,000, the foundation will contribute 50 cents. In other words, your donation of $50 will bring us $25 in additional funds!

DACU builds the capacity of communities to develop and implement policies and community-based solutions which improve social, economic, and environmental conditions that shape health and life opportunities. We work to advance health equity in Doña Ana County by addressing institutional inequities related to geography, class, gender, and race.

We are conducting two main projects. Through the social equity mapping project, undervalued community members explore their neighborhoods and work with local decision makers to develop policies that advance health equity. In addition, participants in the hOurTime timebank build social cohesion and practice an equitable form of alternative economics as they exchange services with each other.

Doña Ana Communities United will be hosting our fundraising event on December 8th at Peace Lutheran Church (1701 Missouri Ave) from 11am to 1pm. Our auction of innovative services will be ending at the fundraiser, so make sure you get your bids in!
