The Delaware Community Foundation

Makes More Possible through the power of collective giving.

  • We help donors do more with their charitable gifts. Whatever your unique passions and values, the DCF
    makes it easy to open a new fund or donate to an existing one.
  • We help nonprofit organizations connect with donors who want to help.
  • We help professional advisors provide a specialized look at charitable giving to their clients.
  • We help students connect to scholarships.
  • We help young people become philanthropists.

Established in 1986, we bring 40 years of experience as community facilitators and champions to bear, offering deep knowledge of what communities across the First State need to thrive. We steward resources through scholarships and grants that benefit all Delawareans. No matter the size of your gift, trust that the DCF will ensure its greatest possible impact in the lives of your neighbors through our network of community partnerships.

Donations both large and small make it possible for us to support youth programming, environmental justice, equitable communities, and civic engagement across New Castle, Kent, and Sussex Counties.
