I linked directly to their donation page but you can go to their home page at https://atodallas.org/ to see more. Feel free to call them to verify if you wish - this is NOT a scam!!! I looked them up on my own and they have not started to solicit donations after last night - and why should we need to wait before we help our fellow Americans? Thanks for tolerating my post and God bless and keep those who sacrificed.

Thank you for caring for the families of those officers who were murdered last night while doing their duty. Just went to your link and made a donation.

I think the Dallas Police Association is the white union. The Blacks have the “Black Police Association of Greater Dallas” and the Mexicans have “ Dallas Latino Peace Officers Association “. There is a smaller FOP. I’m not sure who represents the Asians.

MeganC, have you investigated this Foundation’s overhead cost to see what proportion of the donations than they pass on to the injured cops and the families of police officers who died? I don’t know anything about this organization. Is it union controlled?
