“Wikipedia, (in part) defines philanthropy as "...the act of donating money, goods, time or effort to support a charitable cause, usually over an extended period of time and in regard to a defined objective. In a more fundamental sense, philanthropy may encompass any altruistic activity which is intended to promote good or improve human quality of life."

Delmar believes strongly in giving back. While it is always challenging to choose which causes and organizations to fund, It remains incumbent on all of us to do what we can for those who are less fortunate and to help make the world a safer cleaner place. In addition to funding, we also feel strongly that it is essential to give of oneself. For years we have done exactly that by encouraging our management, their families, our associates, employees and executives to support something they believe in. This is our way of ensuring them that Delmar supports their causes and will be there to see them through.

In an effort to encourage others in this regard and to help promote those institutes and organizations which we believe do an outstanding job helping to heal the planet and its inhabitants, we are pleased to provide but a brief listing and some links of our favorites. This list does not in any way mean to dissuade you to help or participate in other charities.

If you would like to know more about any of these organizations or about our philosophical views in this regard, please feel free to communicate with us by email at: onesmileatatime@delmarcargo.com
