At the DCF, we believe communities are strongest when all people have the opportunity to thrive.
To advance opportunity in Delaware, we are pursuing a number of strategies:
Grantmaking
To increase access and opportunity in our grantmaking, the DCF has launched new programs, revised our applications and review processes, provided more training for our grants committee, built up support for applicants, engaged our donor community around critical issues in our communities, and more. Learn more about this year’s Community Impact Grants.
Catalyzing Dialogue & Strengthening Community
We advance important conversations that spark new ideas, elevate diverse voices, foster constructive conversations about tough issues, and help Delawareans understand one another better. Check back for more information about community convenings as they are planned.
Improving Our Organization
We are committed to the long-term institutional work we know is necessary to advance opportunity both in our communities as well as within our own organization. After analyzing all of our internal policies and practices. we’ve made real changes to how we approach HR, grantmaking, communications, fundraising, and more, as well as conducting extensive, ongoing training for all DCF staff and volunteers.
