History

It has been my firm conviction throughout life that it is the duty of everyone in the world to do what is within his power to alleviate human suffering Alfred I duPont

During his lifetime Alfred I duPont was a successful industrialist prolific inventor published musician and quiet benefactor to a multitude of the needyin fact he has become the most generous benefactor on behalf of childrens health and health care in modern history He left behind an estate valued at 40 million and a last will and testament with specific instructions for the creation of a charitable foundation primarily devoted to providing health care services to children Through his Will he established the foundation named for the beloved homeland of the duPont family in FranceNemours

Nemours was incorporated in 1936 the year after Mr duPonts death This charitable venture was to provide care and treatment for crippled but curable children and care for the elderly in both instances with priority being given to residents of Delaware where Alfred was born in 1864 Mr duPont required that the Trust maintain the mansion also called Nemours built in Wilmington for his second wife Alecia Maddox duPont Today the estate is known as Nemours Mansion and Gardens

In 1940 Nemours Foundation opened its first health care institution The Alfred I duPont Institute now known as NemoursAlfred I duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington Delaware Originally a hospital for crippled children the Institute was the primary focus of Nemours work for more than 40 years In 1976 the Board expanded the Institutes mission to encompass more diseases of children Its growth and evolution has included the lifework of many medical pioneers as it has become a catalyst to the Nemours system of leadingedge medicine that puts a premium on safety quality and familycentered care

Nemours second major benefactor and one of the original Trustees of the duPont estate Edward Ball was Mr duPonts loyal associate and brother of third wife Jessie Ball duPont Mr Ball spent most of his life enhancing the investments of duPont and building the assets of the Trust When Mr Ball died in 1981 he left the greatest portion of his own estate for the care of handicapped children in Florida

By 1981 Nemours had established the Nemours Health Clinic a program of care for the elderly in Delaware That same year Nemours also made its second major commitment to childrens health care by purchasing Hope Haven Childrens Hospital in Jacksonville Florida renaming it Nemours Childrens Hospital Jacksonville had been a second home and business base for Alfred I and Jessie Ball duPont where they built a home called Epping Forest to enjoy the warmer climate and the St Johns River In 1984 a longrange plan was fashioned for Nemours Foundation a vision for childrens care in Florida and Delaware using hospitals and physicians to provide treatment toward a cure for a range of pediatric scourges involving the best skill and talent available for such conditions Nemours renewed vision also called for research and teaching to create the academic environment where excellen
