A highlight of the Darlington Community Fund is the Excellence in Education Fund that focuses on inspiring teachers and students at all levels to accomplish their very best by encouraging and promoting creative and innovative educational programs and recognizing and rewarding outstanding achievement.
The Darlington Excellence in Education Fund is independent from the School District of Darlington and is guided by a board of advisors consisting of volunteer community leaders, business partners and educators.
Donations to the funds can be made in many forms including cash, credit card, stock, real estate or property. All donations large or small are graciously appreciated, tax deductible, and will go to good use as a part of the Darlington Community Fund.
