Prevent child abuse and strengthen families across Delaware by promoting positive parenting, providing evidence-informed training and resources, and building community conditions that support safe, thriving childhoods.
Prevent Child Abuse Delaware Inc concentrates its giving on program mission support, with a 2025 grant of $90,260 to The State of Delaware in Wilmington as the largest recent award on file. That top grant is joined by a second major allocation of $70,618 to Children & Families First, also in Wilmington, showing a funding pattern tied closely to child abuse prevention and family-strengthening work in Delaware. The foundation’s own summary emphasizes preventing child abuse, promoting positive parenting, and building community conditions that support safe, thriving childhoods. Recent awards also reach smaller community-based providers, including Jay's House in New Castle and Hilltop Lutheran Neighborhood Center in Wilmington, suggesting attention to organizations delivering family support and child-focused services. The 2025 grant list shows a group of in-state recipients, all in the United States, with awards that range from large program- mission grants to smaller local support payments. As a public charity with annual grants of $204,861 and total assets of $878,053, the foundation appears to direct a substantial share of its resources through a small number of mission-aligned grants.
The foundation’s listed focus areas point to child abuse prevention, parenting education, family support services, training and professional development, and public awareness and advocacy. In family support services, it awarded $14,890 to Jay's House in New Castle for program mission. For youth-serving community support, it gave $12,040 to Hilltop Lutheran Neighborhood Center in Wilmington for program mission. Its support also extends to adolescent-focused services: Delaware Adolescent Program Inc in Bear received $12,000, again for program mission. These awards suggest a preference for organizations working directly with children, parents, and families rather than broad institutional grants. The repeated program-mission language across grantees indicates support for core operating activities tied to the foundation’s prevention and family-strengthening goals.
The recent grant list shows a wide spread in award size, from a low of $5,053 to St Michaels Nursery to a high of $90,260 to The State of Delaware. The median of the six listed grants is $13,445, with the middle half falling between $8,525 and $41,675. All six recent awards were made in 2025, and every listed recipient is in the United States. The foundation is a public charity, not a fund that gives to individuals, and the grants shown are all labeled program mission, which points to operating support tied to mission delivery rather than restricted project-only funding.

Grantmaking is concentrated in Delaware cities: Wilmington appears three times, including recipients in Wilmington and one state-level award there, while New Castle and Bear also appear in the recent list. The recipient country distribution is entirely U.S.-based, with six grants and 100% in the United States. In the latest grants, Wilmington accounts for multiple awards, but the foundation’s headquarters is also in Wilmington, so recipient geography should be read separately from headquarters location.
