DANA LetterDelaware Alliance for Nonprofit AdvancementHave you ever wondered who helps people when government or businesses cannot? That is where nonprofits come in. These organizations are dedicated champions, tirelessly striving to improve society and address critical issues.How do they do this? They speak up for people who need help, foster civic engagement and leadership, drive economic growth, and strengthen the fabric of our communities. There are hundreds of nonprofits in Delaware communities, each with its own mission and vision. Many nonprofits provide direct services to individuals and communities in need. This can include healthcare, education, housing, food distribution, and disaster relief. They are behind our clean water, beautiful parks, and inspiring artistic and cultural heritage. By stepping in where public services may be lacking or unavailable, nonprofits meet urgent needs and improve quality of life for vulnerable groups.By mobilizing volunteers and engaging communities, nonprofits foster social cohesion and civic engagement. They provide platforms for individuals to contribute to the public good, strengthening social bonds and promoting shared responsibility for societal welfare.Through contributions, nonprofits channel resources from donors, governments,and corporations to those who need them most. This redistribution helps to addresssystemic inequities and ensures that funds reach underserved or marginalized populations.Nonprofits also play a watchdog role, holding governments and corporations accountable for their actions, especially concerning human rights, environmental protection, and social welfare. They promote transparency and ethical behavior across sectors.The nonprofit sector acts as a crucial pillar in addressing societal challenges, providing services, advocating for change, and fostering community-led solutions that are often more flexible, innovative, and inclusive than those provided by government or business alone.If a problem is affecting your community, chances are there is a nonprofit organization already working hard to find a solution.Ensuring that Delaware%u2019s nonprofit sector continues to thrive requires individuals,businesses, and government entities to offer ongoing financial support. I encourage agift that is not restricted, so the nonprofit can direct the funds where they are needed most.By supporting nonprofits, Delawareans can help create a more equitable, resilient, and prosperous state for all.Sincerely,Sheila BravoPresident & CEODelaware Alliance for Nonprofit AdvancementGive and Receive: The Benefits of Supporting Nonprofits2 | GIVING GUIDE 2024/2025
