We are cultivating the next generation of philanthropists with the Foundation’s Associates Board.
The Associates Board is a dynamic group of young professionals dedicated to supporting the Foundation’s mission of fostering a thriving community in Delaware County. Comprised of emerging leaders from diverse backgrounds and industries, the Associates Board plays a crucial role in expanding the Foundation’s reach and impact among younger generations.
Members of the Associates Board contribute their time, expertise, and networks to advance the Foundation’s initiatives. They organize and participate in fundraising events and act as ambassadors for the Foundation within their professional and social circles. The Associates Board hosted their first Charity Pickleball Fundraiser on Feb. 8, 2025. You can see photos of the event here.
The Board also serves as a springboard for future leaders in Delaware County, providing members with valuable experience in philanthropy and nonprofit governance, as well as unique insights into the challenges and opportunities facing Delaware County. Associates Board members network with like-minded peers, develop leadership skills, and make a tangible difference in our community.
The second round of the Associates Board Community Grants Program was announced in December, 2025. Since the Associates Board launched the Community Grants Program in 2024, more than $52K has been distributed to nonprofits serving Delaware County. You can find a list of the grants awarded here.
