DCF Grants Are Investments in Our Community
The Dearborn Community Foundation, Inc. (DCF) has awarded more
than $10 million in grants since 1997. The
grants support the needs/interests of the community in the
fields of community service, social service, education, health,
environment and the arts.
The Foundation considers awarded grants to be “investments” in
our community. DCF grants benefit the community in a variety of
ways – ranging from support for the Dearborn County
Clearinghouse for Emergency Aid, Inc., and the Dearborn County
Superior Court Adult Drug Court counseling to providing
operating funds for the Extension Homemakers’ First Books for
Kids Program and the Dogwood Horse Ranch, Inc.’s Reward Riding
Program that provides therapeutic riding lessons and more to
children and adults with developmental disabilities.
The majority of Foundation funds awarded to non-profit
organizations are discretionary grants for which the
organization conducts a competitive review and decision-making
process. The balance of DCF grants are awarded based on
recommendations by our donors and are paid out of donors’
endowment funds.
