Mission

Granting Impact

The Community Fund of Darien provides grants and resources that improve lives and strengthen the communities of Stamford, Norwalk, and Darien.

Since 1951, we have granted nearly $30,000,000 to local nonprofits supporting the basic needs of our neighbors in Stamford, Norwalk, and Darien.

Our grants provide access to food, housing, physical and mental healthcare, employment skills, youth success programs, and emergency services to our neighbors in need.

Each nonprofit is thoroughly vetted by our Grant Review Committee and trained volunteers who ensure that our donors' contributions are allocated to make the greatest impact on local priorities.
