A change in financial circumstances and a desire to give back to those not as fortunate are among the reasons Beth and Scott Albright decided to open a donor-advised fund at The Foundation for Delaware County. Scott says, “Wouldn’t it be nice to have a local impact.” Beth agrees. “I like the idea of having someone to help guide us, because it can be overwhelming.” Allow us to be your partner by setting up a donor fund.

The Foundation for Delaware County will begin its first competitive grantmaking cycle by issuing a formal Request for Proposals on April 30. Proposals will be due on-line June 30 with awards announced on October 31.

Attending were founding donors, elected officials, representatives from area businesses and members of the nonprofit community. Foundation Board President Bob Bruce and President Frances Sheehan also announced $330,000 in new grants to local nonprofits and shared the 2018 timeline for the foundation’s grant application process.
