Fund for Women

Fund for Women We are a volunteer-led, diverse group with a common goal–to help all Delaware women and girls reach their full potential.

We work to attract new philanthropists for our statewide organization because together we are making a difference! In 1993 sixteen visionary women philanthropists were concerned about a lack of support for women and girls in poverty in Delaware. They researched the status of women and children in poverty and learned that services were limited and underfunded. The group proceeded to gather a core o

f women Founders and created the Fund for Women at the Delaware Community Foundation. The group’s initial goal was 1,000 women contributing $1,000 each to establish a $1 million endowment. Their goal was reached in 2010 and now the Fund for Women (FFW) has far surpassed their goal with an endowment of $5 million and over 2,000 “Founders.”

100% of donations paid toward becoming a Founder are placed in the endowment fund and are applied to our mission.

This week, Fund for Women awarded $234,145 in grants to 17 Delaware nonprofits dedicated to empowering women and girls across our state.

A heartfelt thank you to our Grants Committee for their dedication and hard work, and to our Sponsors and Founders for making this impact possible. Together, we are creating opportunities, strengthening communities, and changing lives.
