Thank you for your generosity!

The Foundation has three main activities:

1. The Foundation contributes to charitable non-profit organizations in the communities where DLC operates and which are related to its core purpose. These organizations generally focus on the urgent housing, education, and human services for children and families in local communities.

2. The Foundation supports the development of innovative high-quality foster care programs for children utilizing residential facilities. These programs powerfully impact the lives of children through education, counseling, resource referrals, and nutrition.

3. The Foundation connects our charitable grant recipients with additional resources to further their growth and success. This is achieved through introductions and exposure through Discovery’s website, special events, DLC members and staff. Additional collaboration opportunities are dependent on the location or function of a Discovery project and the location of the individual grant recipient.

Children in Need – Children and family services in the local communities that surround DLC projects. This would include programs supporting various needs such as housing, medical attention, education, literacy, foster care, orphan care, temporary shelters, youth scholarship opportunities, youth arts / sports activities, and service clubs.

• Mission synergy with the Discovery Land Company Foundation
• Integrity of the organization’s public service, and staff commitment and capability to produce positive results for children
• Ability to communicate with the Foundation’s staff before, during, and after the grant process

We will consider charities which match the mission of DLCF. Currently, we do not accept unsolicited grant proposals from the general public.

Yes, in a variety of ways, including the contribution of funds, sponsoring special events and tournaments, in-kind donations of staff, and introductions to valuable resources and talented people. These contributions serve to support the work of the Foundation.

DLCF donates to trusted charitable organizations and their residential facilities, that provide stable and secure long-term care, mentors, and tangible opportunities. DLCF funds solutions to the many adversities experienced by abandoned, court-removed, and orphaned children. These children have been subjected to abuse, neglect, lack of educational resources, separation from siblings, and frequent moves to various homes. When they “age-out” of foster care at 18 years old, they have few, if any, options.  DLCF has supported residences, mentors and counselors for all ages of youth, from infancy to age 23.
