Nonprofits
Nonprofits
More than one-third of all nonprofits providing services in Delaware are DANA members. Join DANA and belong to this outstanding group leading the way in Delaware.
We know that successful nonprofits are a sum of their parts. DANA offers programs to bolster many crucial roles in a nonprofit organization.
Membership fees are determined by your organization’s budget. If you’re an emerging nonprofit, please join as an Associate member.
Associate Members
Associate Members
Associate Members include emerging nonprofits, individuals, nonprofit professionals, and businesses looking to provide services in support of nonprofits.
Associate members play a key role in our alliance through their dedicated commitment to the sector.
Alliance Partners
Alliance Partners
Nonprofits seek to establish healthy communities and vibrant economies, often one family at a time. Businesses need healthy communities. But to reach that goal, Delaware businesses and government must invest in the state’s social infrastructure.
As a DANA Alliance Partner, you will help nonprofits reach more people — improving their communities and raising quality of life for everyone.
