Grants of up to $2,500 and in-kind support to Delaware nonprofit arts organizations to support operations and build capacity. Applicants must submit an LOI prior to submitting a full application. The grants are intended to offer financial support, training, and consultation to develop and strengthen the management capacity of emerging arts organizations so they can operate in a sustainable manner.
StartUp Program funding consists of operating support and a program of training classes and consulting with Delaware Alliance for Nonprofit Advancement (DANA). The program pairs the organization with a Standards for Excellence® Licensed Consultant to determine the needs of the organization, and then provides customized training for staff and board members to learn nationally accepted best practices for nonprofit management. DANA will continue to work with members of the organization’s board/staff for a period of time to guide them in their growth.
Topics covered may include: Vision, Mission, Strategy, and Evaluation; Leadership: Board, Staff and Volunteers; Legal Compliance and Ethics; Finance and Operations; Resource Development and Fundraising; Public Awareness, Engagement, and Advocacy.
