What is
the Delaware Community Foundation?
Since 1986,
the Delaware Community Foundation has been connecting people who
care with the causes they care about by helping them establish
charitable funds and provide grants to the nonprofit organizations
they wish to support. With almost 1,000 funds, nearly $200 million
in assets and annual grants of about $15 million, the Foundation
provides a lasting source of charitable funding to benefit
Delawareans now and for many generations to come.
To learn more about the work of
the Foundation and our involvement throughout the First State, you
can view the following News
Releases or our recent
Publications.
