Our Areas of Focus
Access to opportunities
Everyone deserves access to opportunities to build wealth and safe communities, quality education and health care. Our initiatives include empowering small businesses and entrepreneurs that build local economies, developing affordable housing solutions, and supporting higher education student success.
Vibrant spaces
for all
The places where people live, work, learn, and play is critical to how they grow, develop, and contribute. People who feel a sense of belonging have the confidence to find creative solutions to society’s greatest challenges. Our place-based efforts are guided by a focus on enhancing belonging, strengthening low-income neighborhoods, partnering with communities, and building capacity for emerging leaders.

A Note From Our President
At the duPont Fund, we envision a world in which every member of the communities we serve feels they belong, and is engaged in shaping the future of their community.
We use our grantmaking, investments, research, and partnerships to remove barriers to opportunities and resources, thus building stronger communities where all voices are valued. We look forward to connecting with you on this journey.
