Description

Join DANA for our 2026 Delaware Annual Budget Update, an essential briefing for nonprofit leaders seeking timely, practical insight into the state’s evolving fiscal landscape and what it means for Delaware’s nonprofit sector.

This year’s program will include:

  • A high-level overview of the Governor’s Recommended FY27 Budget priorities and key considerations for nonprofits. 
  • Highlights of major funding drivers and policy issues impacting nonprofit services across Delaware.
  • Space for Q&A and discussion to help nonprofit leaders anticipate changes, plan ahead, and engage effectively in the public budget process. 
  • Federal Update: A national policy and funding update from Jessica Mendieta, of the National Council of Nonprofits, focused on federal developments and implications for nonprofits at the state and local level.

Agenda note: The full agenda is currently being finalized and will be shared with registrants in advance of the event.

Whether you manage a single program or lead a multi-service organization, this session will help you stay informed, align strategy with emerging budget realities, and connect with peers navigating similar challenges.
