The DRDCF logo contains the words “Giving Back”. What does that mean? Many of us are fortunate enough to belong. We belong to associations, groups and societies where we can give and receive fulfillment. We enjoy cherished families and friends that enrich our lives.
All donations to the DRDCF, whether large or small, are a way to Give Back to the community so that, through the grants we disburse, everyone can belong. To choose a Fund you can Give Back to, visit our Ways To Donate page for easy Giving Back ways!

Together, we can make our community stronger, more vibrant, and more resilient than ever before. Contact info@drdcf.ca for more information.
