Overview
Both Delaware Foundation Funds posted a positive return for the 1-year period ended March 31, 2018. Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund delivered lower returns than the S&P 500 Index, which we did not find surprising because it held fixed
income securities, which generally underperformed equities for the 12-month period. Conversely, Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund delivered returns that were above those of the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index, which we also did not find surprising because the Fund held equities, which generally outperformed fixed income securities over the period.
Portfolio management review
Delaware Foundation Funds®
The Delaware Foundation Funds tend to hold a higher weight in non-US securities than most other asset allocation funds. Thus, when US markets are delivering higher total returns than non-US markets, or when the US dollar is appreciating relative to other currencies, these Funds will tend to struggle. However, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, both Delaware Foundation Funds delivered returns that were above the average returns of their respective Lipper peer groups, as shown on page 1.
Economic backdrop
In the period from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018, the prices of risky assets around the world generally rose. In the equity markets, US and international growth equities and emerging market equities produced the highest returns, while US and international value equities and US small-cap equities generally lagged behind. In the fixed income markets, global fixed income securities generated higher returns than US fixed income securities.
The currency markets experienced considerable fluctuations during the 12-month period. The trade-weighted US dollar depreciated by 10.3% over the period, and the trade-weighted Japanese yen fell by 0.7%. The trade-weighted euro appreciated by 8.3%, and the trade-weighted British pound gained 2.9%, partly reversing the decline in the pound that had occurred in the summer of 2016 after the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union. In general, a weaker trade-weighted dollar tends to enhance the competitiveness of US exporters, but means that imports look cheaper for US consumers. The fall in the value of the dollar and the yen may improve the competitive position of exporters in the United States and Japan, relative to their counterparts in the euro zone and the UK.
The price of many commodities rose during the Funds’ fiscal year. Over the 12 months ended March 31, 2018, the spot price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil rose 28.3%, and the relatively energy-intensive S&P GSCI® index rose 16.7%. The Thomson Reuters/CoreCommodity CRB Index, which has a lower weight in energy-linked commodities, gained 5.1% during the period, while the spot price of gold rose by 6.1%. (Source: Bloomberg.)
Portfolio positioning
The Funds’ strategic policy weights reflect a commitment to seeking diversification in terms of both geographies and asset classes. At the
beginning of April 2017, both Funds were positioned defensively relative to their strategic policy weights. In particular, the Asset Allocation Committee chose to keep the Funds at slightly below their strategic policy weights in developed-market equities. Conversely, the Funds began the year with small tactical positions in US real estate equities, which were viewed as offering an attractive balance between risk and reward given the uncertain outlook.
In broad terms, these active positions were maintained throughout the 12 months ended March 31, 2018. The Asset Allocation Committee chose to slightly reduce the overweight in US large-cap equities and to maintain the underweight in developed-market equities. The Committee also continued to hold the Funds’ small tactical position in US real estate equities and maintained a modest overweight in US small-cap equities.
As part of the oversight process for the Funds, the Asset Allocation Committee periodically analyzes the sources of the Funds’ active performance. Over the 12 months ended March 31, 2018, the active positioning of the Funds with respect to the strategic policy weights of different asset classes detracted from the active performance of both Funds, relative to their hypothetical returns at the strategic policy weights.
The Asset Allocation Committee also periodically examines the contribution of derivatives to the Funds’ performance. Based on the available information, the combination of futures, options, swaps, and currency positions in the Funds had only a limited impact on performance during the 12 months ended March 31, 2018. The estimated impact from these instruments amounted to 0.37% for Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund, and 0.29% for Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund.
About Delaware Foundation Funds
As the Funds’ fiscal year came to a close, we continued to seek to deliver the benefits of diversification while aiming to actively manage risk. With these two precepts in mind, each Delaware Foundation Fund seeks to deliver returns that are derived from tactical asset allocation decisions as well as from active management of individual asset classes and investment styles. The Funds are based on the assumption that investors should keep a global perspective when evaluating potential investment opportunities. We therefore continue to manage each Fund so that it includes investment possibilities around the globe.

*Total returns for the report period presented in the table differ from the returns in “Financial highlights.” The total returns presented in the above table are calculated based on the net asset value (NAV) at which shareholder transactions were processed. The total returns presented in “Financial highlights” are calculated in the same manner, but also take into account certain adjustments that are necessary under US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) required in the annual report.
**The benchmark lifetime return is for Institutional Class share comparison only and is calculated using the last business day in the month of the Fund’s Institutional Class inception date.
1Returns reflect the reinvestment of all distributions and are presented both with and without the applicable sales charges described below. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
Expense limitations were in effect for certain classes during some or all of the periods shown in the “Fund and benchmark performance” table. Expenses for each class are listed on the “Fund expense ratios” table on page 4. Performance would have been lower had expense limitations not been in effect.
Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors. In addition, Institutional Class shares pay no distribution and service fee.
Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%, and have an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. The Board has adopted a formula for calculating 12b-1 plan fees for the Fund’s Class A shares. The Fund’s Class A shares are currently subject to a blended 12b-1 fee equal to the sum of: (i) 0.10% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired prior to June 1, 1992, and (ii) 0.25% of average daily net assets representing shares acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All Class A shares currently bear 12b-1 fees at the same rate, the blended rate, currently 0.25% of average daily net assets, based on the formula described above. This method of calculating Class A 12b-1 fees may be discontinued at the sole discretion of the Board. Performance for Class A shares, excluding sales charges, assumes that no front-end sales charge applied.
Performance summaries
Delaware Foundation® Moderate Allocation Fund
Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% if redeemed during the first 12 months. They are also subject to an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets. Performance for Class C shares, excluding sales charges, assumes either that contingent deferred sales charges did not apply or that the investment was not redeemed.
Class R shares are available only for certain retirement plan products. They are sold without a sales charge and have an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50% of average daily net assets.
This Fund is subject to the same risks as the underlying styles in which it invests.
Fixed income securities and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt.
The Fund may also be subject to prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a bond that is held by a portfolio will be prepaid prior to maturity, at the time when interest rates are lower than what the bond was paying. A portfolio may then have to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.
High yielding, non-investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risk than investment grade bonds.
If and when the Fund invests in forward foreign currency contracts or uses other investments to hedge against currency risks, the Fund will be subject to special risks, including counterparty risk.
International investments entail risks not ordinarily associated with US investments including fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles, or economic or political instability in other nations. Investing in emerging markets can be riskier than investing in established foreign markets due to increased volatility and lower trading volume.
The Fund may invest in derivatives, which may involve additional expenses and are subject to risk, including the risk that an underlying security or securities index moves in the opposite direction from what the portfolio manager anticipated. A derivatives transaction depends upon the counterparties’ ability to fulfill their contractual obligations.
Risk controls and asset allocation models do not promise any level of performance or guarantee against loss of principal. Each Fund has a different level of risk.
Narrowly focused investments may exhibit higher volatility than investments in multiple industry sectors.
REIT investments are subject to many of the risks associated with direct real estate ownership, including changes in economic conditions, credit risk, and interest rate fluctuations.
The Fund may experience portfolio turnover in excess of 100%, which could result in higher transaction costs and tax liability.
Interest payments on inflation-indexed debt securities will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation.
2The Fund’s expense ratios, as described in the most recent prospectus, are disclosed in the following “Fund expense ratios” table. Delaware Management Company has agreed to reimburse certain expenses and/or waive certain fees in order to prevent total annual fund operating expenses (excluding any 12b-1 fees, taxes, interest, short sale and dividend interest expenses, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, and nonroutine expenses or costs, including, but not limited to, those relating to reorganizations, litigation, conducting shareholder meetings, and liquidations (collectively, nonroutine expenses)) from exceeding 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets during the period from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018.* Please see the most recent prospectus and any applicable supplement(s) for additional information on these fee waivers and/or reimbursements. Please see the “Financial highlights” section in this report for the most recent expense ratios.

The graph also assumes $10,000 invested in the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index and the S&P 500 Index as of March 31, 2008.
The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index is a broad composite that tracks the investment grade domestic bond market.
The S&P 500 Index measures the performance of 500 mostly large-cap stocks weighted by market value, and is often used to represent performance of the US stock market.
The S&P GSCI, formerly Goldman Sachs Commodity Index, mentioned on page 2, is a world production-weighted index composed of the principal physical commodities that are the subject of active, liquid futures markets.
The Thomson Reuters/CoreCommodity CRB Index, mentioned on page 2, is a widely recognized measure of global commodities markets. It is made up of 19 components considered to be significant commodities, including silver, sugar, wheat, aluminum, and soy beans.
Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs, or expenses. Indices are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Performance of other Fund classes will vary due to different charges and expenses.

1The “Performance of a $10,000 investment” graph assumes $10,000 invested in Institutional Class and Class A shares of the Fund on March 31, 2008, and includes the effect of a 5.75% front-end sales charge (for Class A shares) and the reinvestment of all distributions. The graph does not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholders would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Expense limitations were in effect for some or all of the periods shown. Performance would have been lower had expense limitations not been in effect. Expenses are listed in the “Fund expense ratios” table on page 7. Please note additional details on pages 6 through 8.
The graph also assumes $10,000 invested in the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index as of March 31, 2008. The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index is a broad composite that tracks the investment grade domestic bond market.
The S&P 500 Index, mentioned on page 1, measures the performance of 500 mostly large-cap stocks weighted by market value, and is often used to represent performance of the US stock market.
The S&P GSCI, formerly Goldman Sachs Commodity Index, mentioned on page 2, is a world production-weighted index composed of the principal physical commodities that are the subject of active, liquid futures markets.
The Thomson Reuters/CoreCommodity CRB Index, mentioned on page 2, is a widely recognized measure of global commodities markets. It is made up of 19 components considered to be significant commodities, including silver, sugar, wheat, aluminum, and soy beans.
Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs, or expenses. Indices are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Performance of other Fund classes will vary due to different charges and expenses.

Disclosure of Fund expenses
For the six-month period from October 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. These following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from Oct. 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the tables shown, “Actual Fund return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the tables shown, “Hypothetical 5% return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The Funds’ expenses shown in the tables reflect fee waivers in effect. The expenses shown in each table assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts and swap contracts involve elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amounts disclosed in these financial statements. The notional amounts and foreign currency exchange contracts presented above represent the Fund’s total exposure in such contracts, whereas only the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reflected in the Fund’s net assets.
1See Note 8 in “Notes to financial statements.”
2A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities (such as an index). Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded daily as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of the agreement.
3Notional amount shown is stated in US Dollars unless noted that the swap is denominated in another currency.
4Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) does not include periodic interest payments (receipts) on swap contracts accrued daily in the amount of $(91,445).
5Markit’s CDX.NA.HY Index, is composed of 100 of the most liquid North American entities with high yield credit ratings that trade in the CDS market.
6Markit’s CDX.EM Index is composed of 15 sovereign issuers from the following countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, and Venezuela, which have a S&P credit quality rating of CCC and above.
7An IRS agreement is an exchange of interest rates between counterparties. Periodic payments (receipt) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment (receipt) or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains (losses) on swap contracts.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, and swap contracts involves elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amounts recognized in these financial statements. The notional amounts and foreign currency exchange contracts presented represent the Fund’s total exposure in such contracts, whereas only the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reflected in the Fund’s net assets.
1See Note 8 in “Notes to financial statements.”
2A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities (such as an index). Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded daily as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of the agreement.
3Notional amount shown is stated in US Dollars unless noted that the swap is denominated in another currency.
4Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) does not include periodic interest payments on swap contracts accrued daily in the amount of $(35,506).
5Markit’s CDX.NA.HY Index is composed of 100 of the most liquid North American entities with high yield credit ratings that trade in the CDS market.
6An IRS agreement is an exchange of interest rates between counterparties. Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment (receipt) or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains (losses) on swap contracts.

Delaware Foundation Funds®
March 31, 2018
Delaware Group® Foundation Funds (Trust) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers two funds: Delaware Foundation® Moderate Allocation Fund and Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund (each, a Fund, or collectively as the Funds). The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Funds are considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and offer Class A, Class C, Class R, and Institutional Class shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class A share purchases of $1,000,000 or more will incur a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) instead of a front-end sales charge of 1.00% if redeemed during the first year and 0.50% during the second year, provided that Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid a financial advisor a commission on the purchase of those shares. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1.00%, if redeemed during the first 12 months. Class R and Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors.
The investment objective of Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund is to seek capital appreciation with current income as a secondary objective.
The investment objective of Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund is to seek a combination of current income and preservation of capital with capital appreciation.
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Funds.
Security Valuation — Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If, on a particular day, an equity security or ETF does not trade, the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used, which approximates fair value. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Debt securities, credit default swap (CDS) contracts, and interest rate swap contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker/counterparty and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. US government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. For asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage securities, and US government agency mortgage securities, pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed; attributes of the collateral; yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type as well as broker/dealer-supplied prices. Swap prices are derived using daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades, and values of the underlying reference instruments. Open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value (NAV), as reported by the underlying investment company. Foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sales price, or if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Trusts’ Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Funds may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-US markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before each Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00pm Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. Whenever such a significant event occurs, the Funds may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing). Restricted securities are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Board.
Federal and Foreign Income Taxes — No provision for federal income taxes has been made as each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.
Notes to financial statements
Delaware Foundation Funds®
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken or to be taken on the Funds’ federal income tax returns through the year ended March 31, 2018 and for all open tax years (years ended Sept. 30, 2014–March 31, 2017), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in any Fund’s financial statements. In regard to foreign taxes only, each Fund has open tax years in certain foreign countries in which they invest that may date back to the inception of each Fund. If applicable, each Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the “Statements of operations.” During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.
Class Accounting — Investment income and common expenses are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of “settled shares” of each class in relation to the net assets of each Fund. Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.
Repurchase Agreements — Each Fund may purchase certain US government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with each Fund’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements as of the date of this report were entered into on March 29, 2018, and matured on the next business day.
To Be Announced Trades (TBA) — Each Fund may contract to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a transaction date beyond the customary settlement period (examples: when issued, delayed delivery, forward commitment, or TBA transactions) consistent with each Fund’s ability to manage their investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. These transactions involve a commitment by each Fund to purchase or deliver securities for a predetermined price or yield with payment and delivery taking place more than three days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement period for that type of security. No interest will be earned by each Fund on such purchases until the securities are delivered or the transaction is completed; however, the market value may change prior to delivery.
Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date in accordance with each Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into US dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the US dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. Each Fund generally bifurcates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. That portion of gains (losses), which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates, is included on the “Statements of operations” under “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies.” For foreign equity securities, these changes are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments.” Each Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.
Use of Estimates — Each Fund is an investment company, whose financial statements are prepared in conformity with US GAAP. Therefore, each Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.
Other — Expenses directly attributable to each Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Funds® by Macquarie (Delaware Funds) are generally allocated among such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and certain other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income, respectively, over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. Distributions received from investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject
82
to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that each Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings, a portion of which may be reclaimable. Withholding taxes and reclaims on foreign dividends and interest have been recorded in accordance with each Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Delaware Foundation® Moderate Allocation Fund and Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund each declares and pays dividends from net investment income quarterly and distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, annually. Each Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Each Fund receives earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset custody fees. The expense paid under this arrangement is included on the “Statements of operations” under “Custodian fees” with the corresponding offset included under “Less expenses paid indirectly.” For the year ended March 31, 2018, each Fund earned the following amounts under this agreement:
| | | | |
| | Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund | | Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund |
| | $2,071 | | $669 |
Each Fund receives earnings credits from its transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset transfer agent fees. If the amount earned is greater than $1, the expense paid under this arrangement is included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses” with the corresponding expense offset included under “Less expenses paid indirectly.” For the year ended March 31, 2018, each Fund earned the following amounts under this agreement:
| | | | |
| | Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund | | Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund |
| | $539 | | $125 |
2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates
In accordance with the terms of its respective investment management agreement, each Fund pays Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust and the investment manager, an annual fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly at the rate 0.65% on the first $500 million of average daily net assets of each Fund, 0.60% on the next $500 million, 0.55% on the next $1.5 billion, and 0.50% on average daily net assets in excess of $2.5 billion.
DMC has contractually agreed to waive that portion, if any, of its management fee and/or pay/reimburse each Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that total annual operating expenses (excluding any 12b-1 fees, taxes, interest, short sale and dividend interest expenses, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, and nonroutine expenses or costs including, but not limited to, those relating to reorganizations, litigation, conducting shareholder meetings, and liquidations) do not exceed 0.90% of average daily net assets of each Fund from April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018.* For purposes of these waivers and reimbursements, nonroutine expenses may also include such additional costs and expenses, as may be agreed upon from time to time by the Board and DMC. These expense waivers and reimbursements apply only to expenses paid directly by each Fund and may only be terminated by agreement of DMC and each Fund.
Jackson Square Partners, LLC (JSP), a related party of DMC, furnishes investment sub-advisory services to the Funds. For these services, DMC, not the Funds, pay JSP fees based on the aggregate average daily net assets of each Fund at the following annual rate: 0.39% of the first $500 million; 0.36% of the next $500 million; 0.33% of the next $1.5 billion; and 0.30% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $2.5 billion.
Delaware Investments Fund Services Company (DIFSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administration oversight services to the Funds. For these services, DIFSC’s fees were calculated daily and paid monthly based on the aggregate daily net assets of the Delaware Funds from April 1, 2017 through Aug. 31, 2017 at the following annual rate: 0.0050% of the first $30 billion; 0.0045% of the next $10 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; and 0.0025% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. The fees payable to DIFSC under the service agreement described above were allocated among all funds in the Delaware Funds on a relative NAV basis. Effective

2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates (continued)
Sept. 1, 2017, the Funds as well as the other Delaware Funds entered into an amendment to the DIFSC agreement. Under the amendment to the DIFSC agreement, DIFSC’s fees are calculated daily and paid monthly based on the aggregate daily net assets of the Delaware Funds at the following annual rate: 0.00475% of the first $35 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; and 0.0025% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $45 billion (Total Fee). Each fund in the Delaware Funds pays a minimum of $4,000, which, in aggregate, is subtracted from the Total Fee. Each fund in the Delaware Funds then pays its relative portion of the remainder of the Total Fee on a relative NAV basis. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Accounting and administration expenses.” For the year ended March 31, 2018, each Fund was charged for these services as follows:
| | | | |
| | Delaware Foundation® Moderate Allocation Fund | | Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund |
| | $13,249 | | $5,609 |
DIFSC is also the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of each Fund. For these services, DIFSC’s fees are calculated daily and paid monthly based on the aggregate daily net assets of the retail funds within the Delaware Funds at the following annual rate: 0.025% of the first $20 billion; 0.020% of the next $5 billion; 0.015% of the next $5 billion; and 0.013% on average daily net assets in excess of $30 billion. The fees payable to DIFSC under the service agreement described above are allocated among all retail funds in the Delaware Funds on a relative NAV basis. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.” For the year ended March 31, 2018, each Fund was charged for these services as follows:
| | | | |
| | Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund | | Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund |
| | $51,956 | | $15,622 |
Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DIFSC and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (BNYMIS), BNYMIS provides certain sub-transfer agency services to each Fund. Sub-transfer agency fees are paid by each Fund and are also included on the “Statements of operations” under “Dividend disbursing and transfer agent fees and expenses.”
Pursuant to a distribution agreement and distribution plan, each Fund pays DDLP, the distributor and an affiliate of DMC, annual distribution and service (12b-1) fees of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class C shares, and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares. The fees are calculated daily and paid monthly. Institutional Class shares pay no 12b-1 fees.
In connection with the Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund merger with Delaware Balanced Fund, the Board has adopted a formula for calculating 12b-1 plan fees for the Fund’s Class A shares that went into effect on June 1, 1992. The Fund’s Class A shares are currently subject to a blended 12b-1 fee equal to the sum of: (1) 0.10% of the average daily net assets representing shares that were acquired prior to June 1, 1992, and (2) 0.25% of the average daily net assets representing shares that were acquired on or after June 1, 1992. All Class A shares currently bear 12b-1 fees at the same rate, the blended rate, currently 0.24% of average daily net assets, based on the formula described above. This method of calculating Class A 12b-1 fees may be discontinued at the sole discretion of the Board.
As provided in the investment management agreement, each Fund bears a portion of the cost of certain resources shared with DMC, including the cost of internal personnel of DMC and/or its affiliates that provide legal, tax, and regulatory reporting services to each Fund. These amounts are included on the “Statements of operations” under “Legal fees.” For the year ended March 31, 2018, each Fund was charged for internal legal, tax, and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees as follows:
| | | | |
| | Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund | | Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund |
| | $6,600 | | $3,148 |

For the year ended March 31, 2018, DDLP earned commissions on sales of Class A shares for each Fund as follows:
| | | | |
| | Delaware Foundation® Moderate Allocation Fund | | Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund |
| | $10,400 | | $8,605 |
For the year ended March 31, 2018, DDLP received gross CDSC commissions on redemption of each Fund’s Class A and Class C shares and these commissions were entirely used to offset upfront commissions previously paid by DDLP to broker/dealers on sales of those shares. The amounts received were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund | | Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund |
Class A | | $ 84 | | $ 33 |
Class C | | 689 | | 686 |
Trustees’ fees include expenses accrued by the Funds for each Trustee’s retainer and meeting fees. Certain officers of DMC, DIFSC, and DDLP are officers and/or Trustees of the Trust. These officers and Trustees are paid no compensation by the Funds.
Cross trades for the year ended March 31, 2018, were executed by each Fund pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board designed to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds of investment companies, or between a fund of an investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered affiliates by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common directors/trustees and/or common officers. At their regularly scheduled meetings, the Board reviews such transactions for compliance with the procedures adopted by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended March 31, 2018, each Fund engaged in securities purchases and securities sales which resulted in net realized gains as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund | | Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund |
Purchases | | | | $1,611 | | | | | $ 910 | |
Sales | | | | 1,611 | | | | | 258,106 | |
Net realized gains | | | | — | | | | | 2 | |
*The aggregate contractual waiver period covering this report is from July 29, 2016 through July 30, 2018.

Net unrealized appreciation of investments and derivatives | | | $ | 43,376,397 | | | | $ | 8,555,639 | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
US GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.
| | | | |
Level 1 | | – | | Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, exchange-traded options contracts) |
| | |
Level 2 | | – | | Other observable inputs, including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs. (Examples: debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities) |
| | |
Level 3 | | – | | Significant unobservable inputs, including each Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities) |
Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. Each Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity, and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

2Foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, and swap contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument at the year end.
The securities that have been valued at zero on the “Schedules of investments” are considered to be Level 3 securities in these tables.
As a result of utilizing international fair value pricing at March 31, 2018, a portion of each Fund’s portfolio was categorized as Level 2.
88
During the year ended March 31, 2018, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments, or Level 3 investments that had a significant impact to each Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments due to each Fund utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair valuation procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing of securities in each Fund occurs when market volatility exceeds an established rolling threshold. If the threshold is exceeded on a given date, then prices of international securities (those that traded on exchanges that close at a different time than the time that each Fund’s NAV is determined) are established using a separate pricing feed from a third party vendor designed to establish a price for each such security as of the time that each Fund’s NAV is determined. Further, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded, causing a change in classification between levels. Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels based on fair value at the beginning of the reporting period.
A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when a Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim, or end of the period in relation to net assets. Management has determined not to provide a reconciliation of Level 3 investments as the Level 3 investments were not considered significant to each Fund’s net assets at the beginning, interim, or end of the year. Management has determined not to provide additional disclosure on Level 3 inputs since the Level 3 investments are not considered significant to each Fund’s net assets at the end of the year.
4. Dividend and Distribution Information
Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net gains on foreign currency transactions and net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis (continued)
The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market of futures contracts, mark-to-market of foreign currency exchange contracts, tax deferral of losses on straddles, tax treatment of passive foreign investment companies, tax treatment of CDS contracts, tax treatment of trust preferred securities, and tax treatment of market discount and premium on debt instruments.
For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, CDS contracts, passive foreign investment companies, market discount and premium on certain debt instruments, paydowns of mortgage- and asset-backed securities, and dividends and distributions. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended March 31, 2018, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Delaware Foundation® Moderate Allocation Fund | | Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund |
Undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income | | | $ | 57,545 | | | | $ | (27,317 | ) |

7. Line of Credit
Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $155,000,000 revolving line of credit intended to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. Under the agreement, the Participants were charged an annual commitment fee of 0.15%, which was generally allocated across the Participants based on the weighted average of the respective net assets of each Participant. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a maximum of one-third of their net assets under the agreement. Each Participant was individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. The line of credit available under the agreement expired on Nov. 6, 2017.
On Nov. 6, 2017, each Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the agreement for a $155,000,000 revolving line of credit. The line of credit is to be used as described above and operates in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The line of credit available under the agreement expires on Nov. 5, 2018.
The Funds had no amounts outstanding as of March 31, 2018, or at any time during the year then ended.
8. Derivatives
US GAAP requires disclosures that enable investors to understand: (1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; (2) how they are accounted for; and (3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — Each Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. Each Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the US dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. Each Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the US dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, each Fund may enter into these contracts to facilitate or expedite the settlement of portfolio transactions. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The use of foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, each Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. Each Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit

risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between each Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Funds to cover each Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
During the year ended March 31, 2018, each Fund entered into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the US dollar value of securities each Fund already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies.
Futures Contracts — A futures contract is an agreement in which the writer (or seller) of the contract agrees to deliver to the buyer an amount of cash or securities equal to a specific dollar amount times the difference between the value of a specific security or index at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the agreement is made. Each Fund may use futures contracts in the normal course of pursuing their respective investment objective. Each Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge its existing portfolio securities against fluctuations in value caused by changes in interest rates or market conditions. Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund deposits cash or pledges US government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, each Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to each Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default. Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund and Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund posted cash collateral of $236,966 and $97,825, respectively, as margin for open futures contracts, which is included in “Cash collateral due from brokers” on the “Statements of assets and liabilities.”
During the year ended March 31, 2018, each Fund entered into futures contracts to hedge each Fund’s existing portfolio securities against fluctuations in value caused by changes in interest rates or market conditions.
Swap Contracts — Each Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts and CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing their respective investment objective. Each Fund may enter into interest rate swaps to manage its sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Each Fund may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets. Each Fund will not be permitted to enter into any swap transactions unless, at the time of entering into such transactions, the unsecured long-term debt of the actual counterparty, combined with any credit enhancements, is rated at least BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (S&P) or Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or is determined to be of equivalent credit quality by DMC.
Interest Rate Swaps. An interest rate swap contract is an exchange of interest rates between counterparties. In one instance, an interest rate swap involves payments received by the Funds from another party based on a variable or floating interest rate, in return for making payments based on a fixed interest rate. An interest rate swap can also work in reverse with the Funds receiving payments based on a fixed interest rate and making payments based on a variable or floating interest rate. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust the Funds’ sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Periodic payments on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment (receipt) or termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains or losses on swap contracts. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the interest rate swap contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by (1) for bilateral swap contracts, having a netting arrangement between each Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Funds to cover each Funds exposure to the counterparty, and (2) for cleared swaps, trading these instruments through a central counterparty.
During the year ended March 31, 2018, each Fund entered into interest rate swap contracts to manage each Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates.
Credit Default Swaps. A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities (such as an index). In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to
92
pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by each Fund in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of the reference security (or basket of securities) to the counterparty. Credit events generally include, among others, bankruptcy, failure to pay, and obligation default.
During the year ended March 31, 2018, each Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded daily as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of the agreement. Initial margin and variation margin are posted to central counterparties for centrally cleared CDS basket trades, as determined by the applicable central counterparty.
CDS contracts may involve greater risks than if each Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. CDS contracts are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, and credit risk. Each Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by (1) for bilateral swap contracts, having a netting arrangement between each Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Funds to cover each Funds exposure to the counterparty, and (2) for cleared swaps, trading these instruments through a central counterparty.
During the year ended March 31, 2018, each Fund entered into CDS contracts to hedge against credit events.
Swaps Generally. The value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event each Fund terminated its position in the contract on a given day. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument, or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the “Schedules of investments.”
At March 31, 2018, Delaware Foundation® Moderate Allocation Fund and Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund posted $759,693 and $324,370, respectively, as cash collateral for centrally cleared swap contracts, which is included in “Cash collateral due from brokers” on the “Statements of assets and liabilities.”

9. Offsetting
Each Fund entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or a similar agreement with certain of their derivative contract counterparties in order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help each Fund mitigate its counterparty risk. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between each Fund and a counterparty that governs certain over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, each Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency, or other events.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements on the “Statements of assets and liabilities.”

At March 31, 2018, the Funds had the following assets and liabilities subject to offsetting provisions:

9. Offsetting (continued)
Master Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase agreements are entered into by each Fund under Master Repurchase Agreements (each, an MRA). The MRA permits each Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables with collateral held by and/or posted to the counterparty. As a result, one single net payment is created. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Based on the terms of the MRA, the Funds receives securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price at maturity. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, each Fund would recognize a liability with respect to such excess collateral. The liability reflects each Fund’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. As of March 31, 2017, the following table is a summary of each Fund’s repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under an MRA:

10. Securities Lending
Each Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). At the time a security is loaned, the borrower must post collateral equal to the required percentage of the market value of the loaned security, including any accrued interest. The required percentage is: (1) 102% with respect to US securities and foreign securities that are denominated and payable in US dollars; and (2) 105% with respect to foreign securities. With respect to each loan, if on any business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral held is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are the subject of such loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral by the end of the following business day which, together with the collateral already held, will be not less than the applicable initial collateral requirements for such security loan. If the aggregate market value of securities collateral and cash collateral held with respect to a security loan exceeds the applicable initial collateral requirement, upon the request of the borrower, BNY Mellon must return enough collateral to the borrower by the end of the following business day to reduce the value of the remaining collateral to the applicable initial collateral requirement for such security loan. As a result of the foregoing, the value of the collateral held with respect to a loaned security on any particular day may be more or less than the value of the security on loan. The collateral percentage with respect to the market value of the loaned security is determined by the security lending agent.
98
Cash collateral received by each Fund is generally invested in a series of individual separate accounts, each corresponding to a fund. The investment guidelines permit each separate account to hold certain securities that would be considered eligible securities for a money market fund. Cash collateral received is generally invested in government securities; certain obligations issued by government sponsored enterprises; repurchase agreements collateralized by US Treasury securities; obligations issued by the central government of any Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) country or its agencies, instrumentalities, or establishments; obligations of supranational organizations; commercial paper, notes, bonds, and other debt obligations; certificates of deposit, time deposits, and other bank obligations; and asset-backed securities. A fund can also accept US government securities and letters of credit (non-cash collateral) in connection with securities loans.
In the event of default or bankruptcy by the lending agent, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to each Fund or, at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. Each Fund continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to changes in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. Each Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, each Fund receives loan premiums paid by the borrower. With respect to security loans collateralized by cash collateral, the earnings from the collateral investments are shared among each Fund, the security lending agent, and the borrower. Each Fund records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.
Each Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral. This could occur if an investment in the collateral investment account defaulted or became impaired. Under those circumstances, the value of a Fund’s cash collateral account may be less than the amount a Fund would be required to return to the borrowers of the securities and that Fund would be required to make up for this shortfall.
During the year ended March 31, 2018, each Fund had no securities out on loan.
11. Credit and Market Risk
Some countries in which each Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid, and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by each Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by each Fund.
Each Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield, fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by S&P and Ba or lower by Moody’s, or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.
Each Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in small companies and may be subject to certain risks associated with ownership of securities of such companies. Investments in small-sized companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies for a number of reasons, which include limited financial resources or a dependence on narrow product lines.
Each Fund invests in fixed income securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of issuers and changes in interest rates. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by US government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligation and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on each Fund’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, each Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.
Notes to financial statements
Delaware Foundation Funds®
11. Credit and Market Risk (continued)
Each Fund invests in certain obligations that may have liquidity protection designed to ensure that the receipt of payments due on the underlying security is timely. Such protection may be provided through guarantees, insurance policies, or letters of credit obtained by the issuer or sponsor through third parties, through various means of structuring the transaction or through a combination of such approaches. Each Fund will not pay any additional fees for such credit support, although the existence of credit support may increase the price of the security.
Each Fund invests in bank loans and other securities that may subject them to direct indebtedness risk, the risk that each Fund will not receive payment of principal, interest, and other amounts due in connection with these investments and will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. Loans that are fully secured offer each Fund more protection than unsecured loans in the event of nonpayment of scheduled interest or principal, although there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the corporate borrower’s obligation, or that the collateral can be liquidated. Some loans or claims may be in default at the time of purchase. Certain of the loans and the other direct indebtedness acquired by each Fund may involve revolving credit facilities or other standby financing commitments that obligate each Fund to pay additional cash on a certain date or on demand. These commitments may require each Fund to increase its investment in a company at a time when each Fund might not otherwise decide to do so (including at a time when the company’s financial condition makes it unlikely that such amounts will be repaid). To the extent that each Fund is committed to advance additional funds, it will at all times hold and maintain cash or other high grade debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet such commitments. When a loan agreement is purchased each Fund may pay an assignment fee. On an ongoing basis, each Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a loan agreement. Prepayment penalty fees are received upon the prepayment of a loan agreement by a borrower. Prepayment penalty, facility, commitment, consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned or paid.
As each Fund may be required to rely upon another lending institution to collect and pass on to each Fund amounts payable with respect to the loan and to enforce each Fund’s rights under the loan and other direct indebtedness, an insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the lending institution may delay or prevent each Fund from receiving such amounts. The highly leveraged nature of many loans may make them especially vulnerable to adverse changes in economic or market conditions. Investments in such loans and other direct indebtedness may involve additional risk to each Fund.
Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair each Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Funds’ Board has delegated to DMC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of each Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Funds’ 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A securities held by each Fund have been identified on the “Schedules of investments.” Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the security valuation procedures noted in Note 1.
12. Contractual Obligations
The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed each Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update, ASU 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (ASU) which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require any accounting change for debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after Dec. 15, 2018. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

14. Subsequent Events
On Feb. 28, 2018, the Board approved a proposal to reorganize Delaware Foundation® Conservative Allocation Fund (Acquired Fund) with and into Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund (Reorganization). The proposal is not subject to shareholder approval. The Board has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and that the interests of the Acquired Fund’s existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.
Effective as of the close of business on July 6, 2018, the Acquired Fund will be closed to new investors. The Acquired Fund will continue to accept purchases (including reinvested dividends and capital gains) from existing shareholders until four business days before the Reorganization. Contingent deferred sales charges will be waived on redemptions from the Acquired Fund through the date of the Reorganization. The Reorganization is expected to take place on or about July 27, 2018.
Management has determined that no other material events or transactions occurred subsequent to March 31, 2018 that would require recognition or disclosure in each Fund’s financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund and Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund (constituting Delaware Group Foundation Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of March 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Board consideration of sub-advisory agreements for Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund and Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund at a meeting held November 15-16, 2017
At a meeting held on Nov. 15-16, 2017, the Board of Trustees of Delaware Group Foundation Funds, including a majority of non-interested or independent Trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), approved a new Sub-Advisory Agreement between Delaware Management Company (“DMC” or “Management”) and each of Macquarie Investment Management Europe Limited (“MIMEL”) and Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (“MIMGL”) for Delaware Foundation Moderate Allocation Fund and Delaware Foundation Conservative Allocation Fund (the “Fund”). MIMEL and MIMGL may also be referenced as “sub-advisor(s)” below.
In reaching the decision to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board considered and reviewed information about each of MIMEL and MIMGL, including its personnel, operations, and financial condition, which had been provided by MIMEL and MIMGL, respectively. The Board also reviewed material furnished by DMC, including: a memorandum from DMC reviewing the Sub-Advisory Agreements and the various services proposed to be rendered by MIMEL and MIMGL; information concerning MIMEL’s and MIMGL’s organizational structure and the

experience of their key investment management personnel; copies of MIMEL’s and MIMGL’s Form ADV, financial statements, compliance policies and procedures, and Codes of Ethics; relevant performance information provided with respect to MIMEL and MIMGL; and a copy of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
In considering such information and materials, the Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from and met separately with independent counsel. The materials prepared by Management in connection with the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements were sent to the Independent Trustees in advance of the meeting. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses some primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision. This discussion of the information and factors considered by the Board (as well as the discussion above) is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather summarizes certain factors considered by the Board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered, the Board did not, unless otherwise noted, find it practicable to quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the following factors. In addition, individual Trustees may have assigned different weights to various factors.
Nature, quality, and extent of services. The Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of services that MIMEL and MIMGL each would provide as a sub-advisor to the Funds. The Trustees considered the investment process to be employed by MIMEL and MIMGL in connection with DMC’s collaboration with MIMEL and MIMGL in managing the Funds, and the qualifications and experience of MIMEL and MIMGL’s fixed income teams with regard to implementing the Funds’ investment mandates. The Board considered MIMEL and MIMGL’s organization, personnel, and operations. The Trustees also considered Management’s review and recommendation process with respect to MIMEL and MIMGL, and Management’s favorable assessment as to the nature, quality, and extent of the sub-advisory services expected to be provided by MIMEL and MIMGL to the Funds. Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing factors, the Board concluded that the nature, quality, and extent of the sub-advisory services to be provided by MIMEL and MIMGL, as well as MIMEL and MIMGL’s ability to render such services based on its experience, organization and resources, were appropriate for the Fund, in light of the Fund’s investment objective, strategies, and policies.
In discussing the nature of the services proposed to be provided by the sub-advisors, several Board members observed that, unlike traditional sub-advisors, who make the investment-related decisions with respect to the sub-advised portfolio, the relationship contemplated in this case is more like a collaborative effort between the advisor and sub-advisors and a cross-pollination of investment ideas. Moreover, the Board noted the advisor’s and sub-advisors’ stated intention that the former retain the decision-making authority with respect to purchases and sales of securities in the sub-advised Funds.
Sub-advisory fees. The Board considered that DMC would not pay MIMEL and MIMGL fees in conjunction with the services that would be rendered to the sub-advised Funds. The Board concluded that, in light of the quality and extent of the services to be provided and the business relationships between the advisor and sub-advisors, the proposed fee arrangement was understandable and reasonable.
Investment performance. In evaluating performance, the Board considered that MIMEL and MIMGL would provide investment advice and recommendations, including with respect to specific securities, for consideration and evaluation by DMC’s portfolio managers, but that DMC’s portfolio managers for the Funds would retain final portfolio management discretion over the Funds.
Economies of scale and fall-out benefits. The Board considered whether the proposed fee arrangement would reflect economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors as assets in the Funds increased, as applicable. The Board also considered that DMC and its affiliates may benefit by marketing a global approach to the portfolio management of its fixed income investment strategies.

Board of trustees / directors and officers addendum
Delaware Funds® by Macquarie
A mutual fund is governed by a Board of Trustees / Directors (“Trustees”), which has oversight responsibility for the management of a fund’s business affairs. Trustees establish procedures and oversee and review the performance of the investment manager, the distributor, and others who perform services for the fund. The independent fund trustees, in particular, are advocates for shareholder interests. Each trustee has served in that capacity since he or she was elected to or appointed to the Board of Trustees, and will continue to serve until his or her retirement or the election of a new trustee in his or her place. The following is a list of the Trustees and Officers with certain background and related information.
