** Dear Friends,
------------------------------------------------------------

Like you, we are passionate about Delaware and the wonderful quality of life available here. We are committed to making life better in Delaware, now and in the future, for all people.

That "for all people" is an important part of our work. Not all people have access to the same opportunities -- opportunities in education, health care, employment, the arts and more.

That's why, in partnership with philanthropists and others who care about Delaware, we're committed to Building Opportunity in Delaware (https://www.delcf.org/building-opportunity) . Find out about how we're doubling down on opportunity in the article below and on our new web pages.

Building Opportunity

We are excited to launch Building Opportunity in Delaware (https://www.delcf.org/community/building-opportunity/) , a multiyear initiative to explore the opportunity gap, convene conversations that lead to solutions, and leverage resources for the greatest impact on creating opportunity for all Delawareans. https://www.delcf.org/community/

Through this work, we strive to foster discussion and collaboration that will empower our community to reduce the opportunity gap.
