ANNUAL GIFT - Tax-deductible gifts to the Annual Appeal support DCH’s core programs and general operating expenses. By supporting this appeal, you touch all parts of DCH and help to sustain outreach, greening and educational programs.  Requests for support are mailed annually in the fall, but gifts are accepted anytime throughout the year.  Donors who make a gift to the Annual Appeal of $1,000 or more, during a given year, are recognized as members of our Emily du Pont Circle of Donors.
