About Our Organization 

We are a new organization with our first meeting being held in September 2024.  We realize we have much to learn, but we do have a dedicated Board.  We are interested in rounding out our skill set.  This is an exciting opportunity for someone to get involved in the early stages of development of this new nonprofit.

We are tasked with representing the 215 acre Fort DuPont campus in Delaware City, DE.  One of our main goals is to support the work of the Fort DuPont Redevelopment and Preservation Corporation (fortdupont.org).
