Christel DeHaan Family Foundation (CDFF)

The Christel DeHaan Family Foundation (CDFF) was founded in 1993 as the RCI Foundation, before reorganizing into a private family foundation in 1997. Since 1997, CDFF Board Members have overseen grants in excess of $50 million to arts, education, child welfare and human need organizations. Throughout its history, the Foundation has refined its giving strategies and operations to optimize its support provided to arts and cultural organizations. Christel DeHaan Family Foundation Board Members oversee grants made from the Foundation and a Fidelity charitable gift fund that is not reflected in the 990 documents. Annually, the Board approves approximately $2 million in grants.
