About Delacy Family Foundation
Delacy Family Foundation’s clearest pattern is repeated support for direct-service organizations that work one person, one animal, or one family at a time. In recent grants, the foundation made multiple awards to Can Do Canines for training and placing free service dogs for people with disabilities, and to Big Brothers Big Sisters of 7 River for one-to-one mentoring relationships with kids. Those recurring awards suggest a grantmaker that backs organizations delivering hands-on support rather than broad, indirect programming. Animal welfare is another major thread. The foundation funded La Crescent Animal Rescue for a no-kill shelter serving cats and dogs, and also supported Crossed Paws Rescue for all-volunteer animal rescue and adoption. These grants sit alongside support for human services, including military and veteran assistance through Healing 4 Heros and disability-related services through Cares Inc. The mix also includes education-related awards, such as scholarships and support for youth preparation, but the overall grant pattern stays centered on services with immediate, tangible outcomes. Across the recent-grants list, the foundation’s giving reads as targeted, operational, and locally oriented.
