Mr. Speaker, Claims · 152 wordslast month, the Delaware Community Foundation celebrated 40 years of contributing to the social and financial health of the First State.¹ Initially pioneered by my predecessor in this Chamber and our former Governor, Pete DuPont, the Delaware Community Foundation is one of the top 100 community foundations in the country and has spent the last four decades infusing financial support into critical initiatives, community partners, nonprofits, ²³and education for Delawareans across our State. Today, DCF is led by my friend and neighbor, Stuart Comstock-Gay, a community leader who is dedicated to improving the quality of life for all Delawareans. Over the last 40 years, DCF has engaged in philanthropy, community collaboration, and thoughtful investments in medical research, scholarships for students, nonprofit support, and improving health equity. DCF, like community foundations across the country is a critical driver of investment that can and have made a difference in the lives of every Delawarean. Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 28 wordsI congratulate DCF on this tremendous milestone, and I thank them for their decades of enduring support and community impact that have shaped the lives of countless Delawareans.Thanks
