Each year, each administration brings new opportunities for DANA to advance nonprofit interests. The past two years have been a focus on aiding Delaware nonprofits navigate and survive during the Covid-19 pandemic.  Through its advocacy, DANA partnered with philanthropy to send over $5 million in private donations to Delaware nonprofits and secured an allocation of $25 million in Federal CARES act funds to reimburse nonprofits for Covid-related expenses.  Today DANA is educating government officials on the opportunity to invest in nonprofits through Federal ARPA funding.
