The Foundation has disbursed more than $40,000 to date this year in the form of several
grants, flow-throughs, and bursaries. Over the past 20 years, the DRDCF grants have helped in
many different aspects of our community, such as libraries, nature areas, playgrounds, care
facilities, museums, youth programs, and arts and culture programs.
The community grants are made possible through your donations to our endowment funds,
which earn interest throughout the year. Each year, the interest generated from these funds is
made available to eligible organizations in our community through our grants.
