Increasing Our
Impact

At the Delaware Community Foundation, we are expanding our work to increase our community impact. 

For 30 years, the DCF has helped individuals and organizations create charitable funds and award grants in Delaware and around the world. 

Now, while we are continuing our work with charitable funds, we are stepping up to help Delawareans empower their charitable giving – whether it’s money, time or other resources – by increasing and sharing our knowledge of community needs.

As we take on this new challenge, striving to become a hub of knowledge about Delaware and a better connector of needs and resources, we are welcoming a new leader with experience guiding organizations through this type of transformation. 

Stuart Comstock-Gay is a thought leader in the community foundation world and a pioneer in the movement to drive positive change by helping philanthropists inform their charitable giving and identify opportunities to maximize their impact.
