Since its inception, the DCF has focused a large
part of its program grantmaking resources on disadvantaged
populations and communities.
FY 90 - HOMELESSNESS
A total of $60,300 was awarded for 6 programs addressing
homelessness, particularly as it affected children.
FY 91 - ADOLESCENTS
Nine programs dealing with adolescent populations received a total
of $71,000 in grants.
FY 92 - HEALTH CARE
SERVICES
A grant of $75,000 was awarded to Westside Health Service, to
support this underfunded, but very important community-based health
center. The DCF's belief is that access to health care - both
preventive and critical care - is an absolute requirement of a sound
society. The grant enabled the Westside Health Service to acquire
additional space, permitting more comprehensive services including
access to specialists such as podiatrists, ophthalmologists and
neonatologists.
FY 93 - ARTS AND NONPROFITS
Delaware Arts Stabilization Fund - $50,000. To provide
seed-money to initiate a program to promote the long-term financial
stability of Delaware's cultural arts community. It was a joint
venture among Delaware's business, civic, government, foundation and
community leaders in support of the arts. ($21.5 million effort)
Delaware Community Foundation - $50,000. To employ a
Director of Development and Deferred Giving. This grant was matched
one for-one by the DCF Board of Directors to continue the position
in 1994. A community wide planned and deferred-giving program was
being planned.
FY 94 - HOUSING
(also funded by Ford and MacArthur Foundations)
Delaware Building Capacity Program - $100,000. On November 19, 1993,
Governor Thomas R. Carper announced the establishment of a statewide
housing capacity program. This program was a joint venture
undertaken by the Delaware State Housing Authority, the University
of Delaware and the DCF. Its purpose was to provide information and
training, as well as technical and financial assistance to local
housing-related organizations.
