SHARE Delaware: Website/Map Overview

DANA, the Delaware Alliance for Nonprofit Advancement, and Philanthropy Delaware introduced SHARE Delaware as the State’s first comprehensive resource for information on Delaware nonprofits and their program locations – all in one searchable database. Thanks to generous support by Discover Bank and Christiana Care an updated SHARE Delaware website with more enhanced mapping features was re-launched on March 15th.

In partnership with Policy Map, the enhanced website contains information on registered 501(c)(3) organizations operating in the State of Delaware and allows anyone to search for organizations based on geographical areas and mission focus areas. Policy Map’s community indicators such as demographic trends, financial and personnel data, plus state senate districts permits users to understand community impact in the areas where nonprofits operate.

This informational session will walk participants through the map, how to access the indicator data, and read the financial information.
