Welcome
The Longwood Foundation is dedicated to the people, environment, and communities of Delaware and southern Chester County in Pennsylvania. We accept grant requests from all tax exempt organizations in those areas.
The Foundation was formed in 1937 by Pierre S. du Pont and has made grants to non-profits of over $2 billion since. Historically, we have invested primarily in the education, health care, environmental, housing, arts, social services, and civic sectors. We have also chosen to invest largely in capital projects, not operating. While this remains a comfortable way for us to invest, we no longer consider it a firm boundary. We are now interested in investments which accelerate a non-profit to its own success.
Thank you for visiting our website. We would appreciate your feedback on the Foundation, its operations, and the website.
