Delaware Valley Legacy Fund

It is engaged in building a permanent endowment and philanthropic apparatus to serve the fundraising and grant making.

[1] DVLF was created in 1993, when community activists and donors decided that there was a need, given the growth of the LGBT movement, for a permanent reservoir of funds to support organizations in Greater Philadelphia.

Legendary lesbian activist Barbara Gittings, whose activism began forty years earlier in the 1950s, served as a founding board member that also included Larry Biddle and Dennis Green.

DVLF devotes significant resources to raising funds for programs and growing the endowment.

It cultivates a broad donor base of individuals, couples, and businesses interested in supporting regional LGBT communities.
