Why Your Nonprofit Needs a DCF Endowed Fund

Proven Results

Our investment portfolio is carefully structured to maximize growth of capital over the long term and minimize risk. Since inception in 1986, the DCF’s portfolio has returned an average 7.5% per year — even including the 2009 market crash. For more information about our investment practices and policies, see our Financials page.

Experience

With more than $270 million in assets, the DCF manages endowment funds benefiting more than 200 Delaware and national nonprofit organizations.

You don’t have to be an expert in charitable gift annuities or real estate transactions! The DCF has the expertise to help your donors give many types of gifts, including securities, personal property, life insurance and bequests.

Increased Donor Confidence

Building an endowment fund at the DCF lets your donors know that your organization is serious about securing its financial future and managing its assets wisely.

Complete Fund Administration

From tax filings to quarterly statements, we handle all of the administration for each fund. Donors can even contribute to your endowment fund directly through our website.

Community

The DCF is invested in Delaware, just like you. With an endowment fund at the DCF, your organization becomes part of the movement to make Delaware the thriving, vibrant community we’re all working toward.
