The Dutch Neck Community Center is a registered not-for-profit organization, organized as a Private Foundation, and qualified by the IRS as a 501(c) (3) organization. The Community Center provides for its operations solely through donations.  We do not charge a membership fee and are not engaged in any activity which could potentially generate a profit. All residents of Dutch Neck are welcomed members of the Club. Our stated objectives are:

“to promote the health, safety, welfare and interest of the residents of Dutch Neck,  and their enjoyment of the land and waters of Dutch Neck and its environs; and to cooperate with other organizations in the area having similar objectives.” (Foundation’s By-Laws)   We have further adopted the mission of scholarship support of all members of the Dutch Neck community continuing their education beyond high school.

All donations are vital to the success of our mission and this fiscal year’s ANNUAL APPEAL is to cover our annual operating costs and to increase the Building Fund in order to provide the resources to make necessary repairs to the clubhouse roof and to replace its hot water tank. Any amount is very much appreciated.

In addition, scholarship funds were not allocated in 2024.  The Scholarship Fund balance will increase by virtue of shared interest generated by our fully invested Mamie E. Benner Memorial Fund and any directed contributions received during this annual appeal.
