Description
Healthy Communities Delaware (HCD), administered through the Delaware Community Foundation, supports projects that advance community-level change across Delaware. Its mission is to work with communities, investors and systems to create thriving places for thriving people. Funding focuses on improving the Vital Conditions that shape community well-being, rather than addressing a single area of need in isolation.
These conditions include humane housing, lifelong learning, a thriving natural environment, meaningful work and wealth, basic needs for health and safety, reliable transportation, and a sense of belonging and civic muscle. Proposed projects should align with HCD’s mission and strengthen these foundations of community life so that all people and communities can thrive.
