Ways to Give

Delco Gives is an annual online giving event organized by The Foundation for Delaware County that channels community generosity into direct support for local nonprofits.

Throughout the giving event, participating organizations also benefited from a series of cash prizes generously funded by local sponsors, which provided additional support and excitement.

Donors also had the opportunity to contribute to the All In Fund, a collective bonus pool distributed to all 323 participating nonprofits after the close of the event.

Community Events Amplify Delco Gives

The Foundation for Delaware County brought Delco Gives to life beyond the online donations with multiple in-person celebrations.
