We are YOUR Community Fund
For over 60 years, The Community Fund of Darien has helped those in need, working to make our town the best it can be. Our grants to local nonprofits are targeted toward the most critical needs in Darien, Stamford and Norwalk. We measure results and aim for impact, resulting in vibrant and productive communities. Have you deliberately vetted each charity to which you make a donation? We have! Do you know which issues are most pressing? We do! Please join your friends and neighbors in giving back to the community we all love.
We support Darien
We provide emergency financial assistance to Darien residents in need. Did you know that 144 Darien families requested back packs from Darien’s Human Services Department for this school year and 150 Darien families needed financial assistance to heat their homes last winter? We take care of Darien by promoting civic engagement and volunteerism. We develop leadership skills for Darien teens with the Youth Community Fund, the Youth Asset Team, the Thriving Youth Task Force, and the DHS Volunteer Fair. Each month we bring together community leaders to discuss our town’s most pressing needs and collaborate on solutions. For 35 years, we have celebrated Darien’s spirit of altruism and philanthropy with the Volunteer Recognition Luncheon.
