Community Engagement

The Youth Community Fund gets out into the community this fall

A visit to Community Centers in Norwalk and Stamford to have some fun with the children was a highlight of the YCF fall activities.  Members went to St. Luke's LifeWorks and the Carver Center with holiday crafts, treats and games.

Did You Know?

Since 1951, The Community Fund of Darien has given over $20 million in grants!

Sixty years ago when our organization was founded, we raised $30,000 to support eight local social service organizations in our area. That first year, more than 95% of our town’s residents contributed because they knew this was their "community fund." Since then, thousands of donors and hundreds of businesses have contributed to The Community Fund to improve the lives of our families, friends and neighbors.
