The Greater Lewes Foundation helps individuals, families, and businesses achieve their charitable goals by establishing funds that support the causes and organizations that strengthen our community.
Creating a fund is simple, with no start-up costs, and is administered through the Foundation's nonprofit status, making philanthropy both accessible and impactful.
Beyond administering charitable funds, the Greater Lewes Foundation has played an important role in bringing transformative community projects to life, including Canalfront Park, the Lewes Public Library, and the Open Space Alliance Campaign. Our board members work closely with local partners to identify opportunities where philanthropy can make a lasting difference, helping bring projects such as Canalfront Park, the Lewes Public Library, and the Open Space Alliance Campaign to life.
We invite you to be part of this legacy of giving. Whether you choose to establish a fund, support an existing one, or invest in one of our community initiatives, your generosity helps preserve, enhance, and strengthen the greater Lewes region for generations to come.
Featured Community Project
DeVries
Monument
The DeVries Monument marks the site of Zwaanendael, the 1631 Dutch settlement that helped shape Delaware's colonial identity. Through the leadership of the Greater Lewes Foundation and the collaboration of dedicated community partners, this historic landmark has been thoughtfully restored to ensure this landmark remains part of our community's story.
