Palm Springs, CA (The Hollywood Times) 4/9/26 – The Palm Springs community pauses with both gratitude and reflection as Matt Swearman announces his departure from his role as Director of Philanthropy at DAP Health.
Matt’s time at DAP Health has been defined by heartfelt leadership, meaningful relationships, and a deep commitment to the organization’s mission. Through his work, he helped strengthen the connection between donors and the vital services DAP Health provides, ensuring that generosity translated into real impact for those in need.
What set Matt apart was his ability to make philanthropy feel personal. He didn’t just engage donors, he built community. His warmth, authenticity, and genuine appreciation created lasting relationships that will continue to benefit DAP Health long after his departure.
For many of us, me included, Matt was more than a professional contact, he was a trusted partner and friend. His guidance played an important role in shaping the Milano Foundation’s involvement with DAP Health, helping turn intention into meaningful action.
In a message shared with the community, Matt expressed his appreciation for the relationships and experiences he’s gained during his tenure. His words reflect the same sincerity and gratitude that defined his work every day.
While this transition marks the end of his formal role, it does not diminish the lasting impact he has had on the organization and the countless individuals it serves.
As we thank Matt for all he has contributed, DAP Health remains steadfast in its mission, ensuring that every person is seen, heard, and affirmed. Philanthropy continues to be a cornerstone of that mission, and the strength of the donor community remains as vital as ever.
Transitions are never easy, especially when they involve someone who has given so much. But they also offer an opportunity to reflect on the positive impact one person can have.
Matt Swearman leaves DAP Health with the respect, admiration, and gratitude of an entire community. We wish him continued success, happiness, and fulfillment in whatever comes next.
He will always be part of the DAP Health family.
