United Way of Delaware has been a catalyst for change in our state for 75 years. We work tirelessly to empower the most vulnerable in Delaware. Our focus is Early Education, College and Career Readiness,  and Financial Stability. In addition we are on the front lines in the fight for Racial Equity and Social Justice

RACIAL JUSTICE

Ending systemic racism starts with education. During a pandemic, many black and brown children can’t access remote learning. Your gift provides laptops and internet connectivity.

FINANCIAL STABILITY AND BASIC NEEDS

Many Delawareans were struggling financially before COVID-19 and many  now are  jobless. You can support programs that help Delawarean’s with their short – term financial needs, as well as long-term needs such as credit repair, budgeting, and homeownership.

COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS

During these difficult times, you can help children who are learning remotely, and support our numerous initiatives that help students become college and or career ready.

EARLY EDUCATION

When you support initiatives like Learning Pods, or Reading Angels, you’re helping young children continue their learning on their journey to reading proficiency.

DELAWARE 2-1-1

When Delawareans experience a crisis, they can dial 2-1-1 or visit Delaware211.org to be connected to the resources they need to thrive again. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Delaware 2-1-1 has increased it’s capacity to help thousands more families.
