Kenny Family Foundation Investing in well-being. Improving quality of life. Creating a sustainable future.

Kenny Family Foundation has served as a charitable foundation since 2008, empowering donors to pursue their philanthropic passions and collaborate with us in transforming New Castle County. We proudly support over 1,000 charitable organizations annually in New Castle County. These organizations feed our hungry neighbors, care for the sick and elderly, educate and inspire our children, and help enrich our lives through the arts and humanities. Fully engaged with our community, these partnerships are the heart and soul of our foundation. Like other foundations, we provide grants; but as a community foundation, we fulfill many roles:

*Champion charitable giving from individuals, families and organizations

*Substantial provider of financial support and nourishment to nonprofit organizations

*Thought leader in collaboration with diverse community influencers to address regional issues

*Leading grant provider on the most pressing and critical issues facing New Castle County, focusing on the arts, education, healthcare, housing, and economic development

Stay tuned for a little bit of what we’ve been up to, and what we’ve got coming up!

In the meantime, let us know what you’ve got coming up in the comments below! What can’t we miss this fall and holiday season?!

Last week we had the honor of attending the Re-Entry Delaware Celebrity Classic at DuPont Country Club.

Re-Entry Delaware’s goal is to empower and support both veterans and others who were formerly incarcerated, by supporting programs that assist in furthering their education, employment, career development and housing status.

It was a HOT one!πŸ”₯β˜€οΈ But we got to spend the day surrounded by great people on a beautiful course, supporting a more than worthy cause. Proud to call the hardworking crew at Re-Entry Delaware a community partner. πŸ’ͺ🏼

Did you know? πŸ’‘

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 71% of women in domestic violence shelters report their abuser threatened or injured a pet as a means of control.

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Nationally, only 19% of domestic violence shelters accept pets which means that many people choose to stay in abusive situations rather than leave their pets behind.

🐾 In 2019, Purina and RedRover partnered to launch the to increase the number of pet-friendly domestic violence shelters nationwide.

We were honored to be there recently as Kenny Family Stores presented them with a $10,000 donation to help support their mission. πŸ’œπŸΆπŸ±
