Funding Students' Futures
Decades of Service
1971 to Present
The Greater Denfeld Foundation was established in 1971 with a one-year scholarship for $150. From those humble beginnings, the Foundation has since awarded more than $9 million to deserving Denfeld students, helping to offset expenses directly related to post-secondary education.
