In the past year, the Delaware Community Foundation distributed more than $15 million in charitable grants across the First State. These grants support innovative programs that address our state's most pressing needs and promising opportunities.

The DCF encourages qualified nonprofit organizations within the State of Delaware to apply for the competitive program, capital and equipment grants that are administered directly by the Foundation, as well as those awarded by some of our component funds. See our Grant Application Guidelines for additional information.

Some of the funds within the DCF that also seek grant applications from community organizations and distribute grants through a competitive process are The Next Generation, Fund For Women, Youth Philanthropy Boards, African American Empowerment Fund of Delaware and the Governor's Consorium on Hispanic Affairs.
