DM Injury Law released its 2025 Kansas City Community Impact Report, revealing substantial contributions to the local community through volunteerism and financial support. The firm's team members contributed more than 1,300 hours of community service while supporting over 100 local nonprofit organizations and directly impacting 4,017 children throughout the year.
Mike DiPasquale, founder of DM Injury Law and the DiPasquale Moore Law Firm Foundation, emphasized the firm's commitment to community work, stating it is rooted in the belief that strong communities create strong futures. Since its inception in 2022, the DiPasquale Moore Law Firm Foundation has invested more than $500,000 in grants to support young athletes across Kansas City. In 2025 alone, the Foundation provided over $100,000 in grants and equipment to 23 local high school football teams, served more than 140 team meals, and hosted 400+ athletes and coaches at Media Day at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Foundation's youth empowerment efforts extended beyond football, including sponsoring a free Citywide Basketball Tournament, providing jerseys for Girls Play Flag Football programs, and creating Career Exploration Days to connect Kansas City students with real-world professional pathways. DiPasquale noted that playing football taught him about teamwork, perseverance, commitment, and sacrifice, values the Foundation aims to instill in young athletes through meaningful investments.
DM Injury Law's community engagement demonstrated particular effectiveness in responding to critical needs. The firm's partnership with CarePortal earned the organization's 2025 Philanthropic Award. Since 2021, the firm has positively impacted 521 children through CarePortal, generating an economic impact of $130,610 for families in crisis and preventing children from entering the overburdened foster care system.
The firm's comprehensive approach addressed four key community areas: families in crisis through organizations like CarePortal, Newhouse, and Habitat for Humanity; vulnerable populations through partnerships with Harvesters, MOCSA, and Kansas City Public Library; cultural support through investments in The Hispanic Chamber, Unidos, and Guadalupe Center; and leadership and education through engagement with PAL KCK, Boys and Girls Club of Greater KC, and Junior Achievement.
Quantitative measures from the 2025 report include 1,373 volunteer hours contributed by staff, 309 staff volunteer appointments, 19,225 meals provided, $511,000+ in nonprofit sponsorships, $242,994 in direct donations, and support for 100+ nonprofit organizations. DM Injury Law encourages employees to volunteer on company time, with 5% of staff members serving on nonprofit boards throughout Kansas City.
Stephanie Moore from DM Injury Law was selected as a Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Kansas City "Most Wanted" honoree in 2025, helping raise more than $1.6 million for children in need. The firm hosted various community engagement events, including Teacher of the Week recognition programs, Career Exploration Days, the Citywide Basketball Championship, and the Debate KC Essay Contest, designed to create authentic, lasting connections while meeting real needs beyond traditional sponsorships.
This comprehensive community investment approach demonstrates how professional service firms can extend their impact beyond their core business operations. By addressing youth development, family crisis support, and educational opportunities, DM Injury Law's initiatives contribute to community resilience and long-term stability. The firm's model of integrating volunteerism with strategic foundation work offers a replicable framework for other organizations seeking to enhance their community engagement while addressing pressing social needs.
