To apply for the Partners in Giving grant, you will need to create an account through The Foundation for Delaware County’s grant portal if you do not already have one.

The Community’s Foundation and The Foundation for Delaware County offered Partners in Giving, a collaborative grantmaking opportunity designed to strengthen support for nonprofits serving Delaware County, for the first time in 2026.

By aligning grantmaking processes, timelines, and expertise, the two foundations seek to reduce duplication, improve access to resources, and create a more streamlined grant experience for nonprofit partners.

Partners in Giving brings together funding from The Foundation for Delaware County, The Community’s Foundation’s general grant program and the City of Chester Giving Circle, with funding priorities determined for each grantmaking cycle.

The next Partners in Giving grant cycle is anticipated for 2027. Details about funding priorities, eligibility, application requirements, and timelines will be posted when the 2027 cycle opens.

Please check back for updates.

The fund reflects a belief that female athletes play a powerful role in strengthening schools, communities, and peers by setting high standards and inspiring others to shine.
