Grant Recipients

Each year, DFRC distributes proceeds from our fundraising events to non-profit organizations and agencies that enrich the lives of Delaware citizens with intellectual disABILITIES. We support programs that serve Delawareans in all three counties statewide and through the entire cycle of life, from infancy through adulthood.

From its inception in 1956, DFRC has awarded over $6 million in grant monies to programs that encourage these citizens to maximize their potential, independence and enjoyment of life. We are also dedicated to identifying and funding Delaware programs based on community need for inclusion, awareness, and education as they relate to individuals with intellectual disABILITIES.

Grants are awarded once a year, with the deadline for applications being October 1st.
