Join us for On the Table on Oct. 17, 2019. On the Table engages residents in an open dialogue to inspire new solutions to strengthen communities. Last year, residents around the Greater Philadelphia region came together in small groups for mealtime conversations focused on how to make their communities better places to live, work and play.
The Foundation for Delaware County has deep expertise in the nonprofit landscape, and an understanding of our community’s unique needs. Join us in moving Delaware County forward. There are many opportunities available for you to fulfill your philanthropic goals outlined in our new planned giving brochure.
Thomas “Wolfie” Wolfarth was a dedicated paramedic and flight medic from Havertown, who died at the age of 42 in 2009 after a long battle with brain cancer. The Wolfie Fund was established by his friends and family to provide support for training and education of Delaware County’s first responders.
During The Foundation for Delaware County’s first year, the Wolfie Fund supported a grant to the Delaware County Board of Fire and Life Safety to purchase equipment for the new Thomas Wolfarth EMS Pediatric Simulation Center at Delaware County’s Public Safety Training Center.
Support the Wolfie Fund (select “Thomas Wolfarth EMS Training Fund” in gift designation) or allow us to be your partner by setting up a donor fund.
