DSI leadership and employees both put time and effort into improving the local community for its residents. Our commitment to corporate philanthropy provides our team with a sense of shared purpose that guides our actions towards building a brighter future for those in need.
In order to enable community organizations to make the most of the funds and resources we invest in them, DSI has established partnerships with a range of organizations dedicated to improving different aspects of Texan and New Mexican life. We’re proud to highlight some of our most active partnerships and to recommend our customers and business partners donate their own time to advancing these causes.

The El Paso chapter started its services in 1886, expanding from a single bare room to a major facility with a modern gymnasium, community room, childcare facilities, and swimming pool.

Pay It Forward with DSI
DSI didn’t become New Mexico’s most reputable independent technology provider overnight. It distinguished itself from the start as a team of community-oriented professionals who care about their friends, families, and neighbors. Our involvement in the community has always been a part of our company’s identity, and we continue to leverage our successes towards serving our community.
