Delawareans throughout the state. Thanks to the generosity of our FY21 Annual Leadership Campaign donors, the DCF has been a powerful force for good for 35 years, serving as a facilitator, connector, cultivator, and source of community knowledge.

We were both raised in families that valued being engaged in community, educational, faith-based work, and political action. Our parents modeled these values, and we were taught to give of our time, talents, and resources, however small, to make a positive difference in our communities.
– Leadership Campaign supporters Lynne Howard and Don Brown, founders of the Howard/Brown Family Fund at the DCF.
Thank you to our 2021 Leadership Campaign Donors!
