Margaret Ann Dimond is an avid philanthropist who supports a variety of charitable organizations, including Sisters of the Holy Cross and the Michigan Humane Society. Margaret Ann Dimond is particularly active with Leader Dogs for the Blind as chairperson of the organization's board.

Leader Dogs for the Blind seeks to enhance the mobility and independence of legally blind individuals through a number of programs and services, including access to quality GPS technology. Leader Dogs clients are provided with a Trekker Breeze+ GPS device at no charge. Upon receiving their device, clients are instructed in all device operations, which include location tracking, real time directions, nearby points of interest suggestions, and other verbally prompted services. By giving verbal cues, individuals can even have the GPS announce what street they are standing on at any given moment.

The Trekker Breeze+ is compatible with both cane-aided mobility and guide dog-assisted travels. However, device training is available only to individuals involved in the Leader Dog guide dog program.
