Partners in Giving

This grantmaking cycle will include TCF general grants, Eddystone Youth Fund and City of Chester Giving Circle.

The Community’s Foundation and The Foundation for Delaware County are pleased to announce the 2026 Partners in Giving competitive grantmaking cycle—a collaborative funding opportunity designed to strengthen support for nonprofits serving Delaware County. By aligning processes, timelines, and expertise, the two foundations seek to reduce duplication, improve access to resources, and create a more seamless grant experience for nonprofit partners.

For the 2026 cycle, Partners in Giving will consider funding organizations working in community development, health, hospice and home healthcare, youth development, and supportive services for cancer survivors. Grants will support program or project activities that advance safety net services, prevention, systems change, or organizational development.

The application opens January 15, 2026, and is due February 19, 2026. A virtual information session will be held on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Nonprofits interested in applying are encouraged to attend. Questions may be directed to Mischico Warren at The Foundation for Delaware County or Claire Baker at The Community’s Foundation.
