The Foundation for Delaware County announced that Delco Gives will return for a third year on May 6-7, 2026, with Power Home Remodeling (POWER) serving as the presenting sponsor.
The Foundation also announced that nonprofit registration for the countywide giving initiative is now open.
Hosted by The Foundation for Delaware County, Delco Gives is a unique opportunity for people to invest in the nonprofits that tirelessly support our community and improve the lives of people throughout Delaware County.
Last year, more than 11,000 donors raised $2.3 million for more than 300 local nonprofits. In its first two years, Delco Gives has generated nearly $4 million for local nonprofits.
“Nonprofits across Delaware County are facing increased demand for services while navigating ongoing funding challenges,” said Michael Kellerman, president of The Foundation for Delaware County. “Delco Gives provides hundreds of nonprofits with a powerful, large-scale opportunity to reach new donors, raise critical funds, and increase their visibility in the community. As we head into our third year, we’re excited to build on this momentum and introduce new elements that will make Delco Gives even more impactful.”
Through an easy-to-use online giving platform, Delco Gives encourages the community to explore and support a wide range of nonprofits serving Delaware County. Participating organizations span focus areas including food access, housing and shelter, education, healthcare, arts and culture, environmental protection, and more, highlighting the breadth and importance of nonprofit services across the county.
“Delco Gives is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when a community rallies around its own,” said Jim Myers, director of Community Impact, Power Home Remodeling. “For over 20 years, Power Home Remodeling has proudly called Delaware County home, and partnering with The Foundation for Delaware County is a natural way to deepen our roots and invest in the place where so many of our employees live and give. Collective giving creates opportunities for neighbors to come together, support one another, and amplify their impact in ways no one person could achieve alone. We hope everyone will take part and help fuel something meaningful for our community.”
Businesses and individuals interested in supporting Delco Gives can do so through sponsorships or by funding cash prizes for participating nonprofits. These opportunities help incentivize participation and drive additional giving.
