The Delaware Arts Alliance is the unifying voice for art and art education in Delaware. We work to advance arts and culture so that the creative people and organizations you love can do what they do best. By donating to DAA, you will support our work to strengthen arts & culture in Delaware!
According to DDOA research, total arts nonprofit organization expenses have increased 16.5% since 2015 and the average operating expenses among DAA member organizations have risen by 25% since 2019.
In 2024, we were able to accomplish:
- Launching the CREATE Plan, the first of its kind in the nation plan to chart the course for Delaware's creative economy including arts nonprofits, for-profit creative businesses, individual artists and educators.
- Championing a budget increase, for the second year in a row, we successfully increased funding for the Delaware Division of the Arts by $1M.
- Engaging policymakers, we convened the Arts and Culture Caucus and monthly calls hosted by the Lieutenant Governor all aimed at developing solutions to sector challenges.
- Strengthening our operations, we updated our strategic plan and increased membership by 26%.
Please help us continue our work in 2025 by contributing today. Your contributions can help cover the following costs, for example:
- $25 donation can support lunch for an arts educator during professional development sessions.
- $50 donation can support materials the Arts & Culture Caucus, where legislators and arts leaders gathering to discuss arts policy at the state level.
- $100 donation can support the Delaware Arts Alliance to deliver civic engagement trainings to help build capacity of arts advocates.
Your individual donation of any size will make us eligible to receive "stretch funding" from the Delaware Division of the Arts and will help maximize our impact.
