At the Delaware Community Foundation, we connect people who care with the causes they care about, helping individuals and organizations create charitable funds that become permanent sources of funding for charitable causes. The DCF also:

Inspires and expands philanthropy through the Fund for Women, The Next Generation, and the African American Empowerment Fund.
Empowers nonprofit organizations by helping them create funds to increase financial stability.
Maximizes the power of giving by helping donors make gifts that have long-lasting impact on the community and building partnerships among nonprofits.
Engages future leaders in philanthropy through our Youth Philanthropy Boards and The Next Generation.

At the DCF, we make it easy for generous people to do great things for the First State. Contact us for help figuring out what your gift can do for Delaware.

Driving Force Award: Kay Keenan

Congratulations to Kay Keenan, this year's recipient of the Fund for Women's Driving Force Award.

Leading a team of four other Founders, Kay has helped transform the Fund for Women by bringing its technology up to date, filling the gaps in the database of Founders, and restoring contact with many “lost” Founders.

While the FFW database is much improved, gaps still exist! If you’re a Founder and have not been receiving information, please contact Kay Keenan at 302-740-9771 or kay.keenan@gmail.com.
