What it means to be a Foundation member

As a Foundation member, you will play a critical role in our efforts and share in the job-well-done feeling we all have when witnessing the growth and community benefits of organizations like NERDiT Now, Second Chances Farm, The Teen Warehouse, Intern Delaware, and Zip Code Wilmington. You can share in the sense of accomplishment as the E3 program rolls out across Delaware. The best part is that your contribution is not limited to your donation; you can play a role, as you determine fits with your experience and desire to help, as a volunteer mentor, advisor, committee member or many other opportunities to support Foundation initiatives.
