Carver’s generous and faithful friend, the Community Fund of Darien (TCF), just renewed its support of Carver’s mission and work. For Carver and many fellow nonprofits in Darien, Norwalk, and Stamford, TCF initiates solutions, builds collaborations, and implements and supports programs to strengthen youth, adults, and families. Since its founding in 1951, TCF has distributed more than $20 million.

Carver’s work is possible because of our many donors who believe in and are committed to the success of our youth. Each of our donors is precious to us. TCF is special because this community fund represents many donors and influencers and its grants follow a rigorous vetting methodology that involves a smart and deep investigation into Carver’s program integrity and financial health. TCF’s significant support is as much about the size of its financial impact as it is about how our crucial partnership with TCF makes Carver that much more self-aware, transparent, and effective.

TCF initially raised $30,000 to support eight local social service organizations in 1951. That first year, more than 95% of Darien's residents contributed because they knew this was their "community fund". Since then, thousands of donors and hundreds of businesses have contributed to The Community Fund to improve the lives of Darien’s families, friends, and neighbors.

Thank you, TCF, for counting Carver kids among your friends and neighbors!
