The Foundation for Delaware County is hosting its first “Get to Know Us” event Feb. 21 for Delaware County’s Black-led nonprofits and funders committed to racial equity and inclusion.

In partnership with the Philanthropy Network of Greater Philadelphia, the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, and the Boys and Girls Club of Chester, this “Get to Know Us” event creates a safe space for Black-led nonprofits and funders to build and strengthen authentic relationships and offers an opportunity for funders to learn about the impact of local, Black-led nonprofits and their work in Delaware County.

If you identify as a Black-led nonprofit and would like to attend, you can register here. You can also register and find out more information at the Foundation for Delaware County website.

Funders should register on the Philanthropy Network website here.
