The Benjamin Potter Trust Fund is an endowed fund that will generate a perpetual stream of charitable dollars for the economically underprivileged in Kent County, Delaware, as directed by the will of Colonel Benjamin Potter. Since 1843 the Potter Charity Trust has supported programs that have a lasting, positive impact in Central Delaware. Starting in 2012, the grant process has been managed by the CenDel Foundation, also a fund of the DCF.

“Even now, nearly 175 years after Col. Potter’s death, his work to improve the community continues through the Benjamin Potter Trust,” DCF President and CEO Stuart Comstock-Gay said. “Our goal at the DCF is to help people give with lasting impact, and we are proud to continue Col. Potter’s legacy through grants that directly benefit Kent Countians in need.”
