It’s a simple way for them to make a difference and leave a lasting legacy in our community. Gifts to the DCF will achieve positive results and maximize their tax deduction.

We help your clients achieve superior tax benefits
Since the IRS considers us a public charity, contributions are eligible for the highest available tax deductions. In most cases, these tax benefits outweigh using their assets to establish their own private foundation.

We make set-up and administration easy
Establishing a fund can be done in less time than it takes to open a bank account. We take care of all the administrative and grantmaking activities, eliminating the need for your clients to set up a separate institution, formulate policies, file innumerable forms and monitor the status of grant recipients. We save them precious time and money.

We take good care of their funds
The Board of Directors, volunteers and staff of the Delaware Community Foundation are dedicated to providing lasting stewardship to the charitable funds entrusted to our care. We are here to nurture these funds and administer them in a cost-effective way – to guarantee that investments in our community will provide the maximum benefit to the people of Delaware.

We share your clients’ interests
We are here to help your clients become connected to the issues that are most important to them. Their charitable interests and priorities are important to us because committed, caring citizens are so important to our community’s well-being.

We care about the community and its future
We are committed to providing a lasting source of income to meet the long-term needs of the community. We will make certain that the fund your client creates at the Delaware Community Foundation today addresses the challenges of tomorrow, in addition to focusing on current needs.
