October 2019
Dear Fundholder,
As we enter the Thanksgiving season, we at the DCF want to express our gratitude for your confidence and your trust. We recognize the enormous responsibility of empowering your charitable gifts. To do this, we use two primary strategies:
1) We invest the charitable dollars you have given to us, striving to maximize growth while preserving capital, and
2) We provide information about ways to make the greatest impact through philanthropy. We offer information tailored to issues of specific interest to you, as well as information about issues critical to building opportunity for all in Delaware.
We continue to have confidence in our investment strategies to grow the assets you have given us. Please view your fund statement(s)* for the period ending September 30, 2019 (Q1 FY20) and all fund activity 24/7 by logging on to DonorCentral®.
Statements include each fund’s relevant investment pool performance. Each pool’s full dashboard, along with SEI’s Quarterly Review, is available at delcf.org/investments.
In addition to investing your charitable gifts, we are here to help you maximize the impact of those dollars. We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your charitable goals and how to ensure the greatest impact possible on the causes you care about. Please feel free to contact us to set up a conversation with a member of the DCF team.
In addition to one-on-one conversations about charitable giving, we encourage you to register for our upcoming community conversation. We hope you will join us for our second annual Building Opportunity keynote presentation on Nov. 6, when James and Deborah Fallows will discuss their book Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey into the Heart of America. For more information, visit delcf.org/keynote.
We thank you for your continuing partnership in our work to build opportunity for all people in Delaware. Should you have any questions about your statement, please contact Marie Stewart, donor services manager, at mstewart@delcf.org or 302.504.5230.
With best regards and thanks for all you do,
Stuart Comstock-Gay
President & CEO
