A Catalyst to Strengthen Nonprofits to Better Serve Their Communities

Since 1937, the Longwood Foundation has invested in Delaware and the Kennett Square area. Our mission is to be a catalyst to strengthen nonprofits in our region. Our vision is that nonprofits are better able to serve their communities, thereby improving quality of life. As a place-based, responsive grantmaker we welcome nonprofits to submit the funding proposals most important to them, geared towards helping them get closer to their respective mission and goals.
