Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Economic Progress in Delaware
The Grants For Economic Progress program, funded by the Foundation, aims to drive economic development and foster job creation in Delaware. A key priority outcome is the stimulation of innovation and entrepreneurship, particularly in industries that are poised for growth in the state. Delaware's strategic location, business-friendly environment, and highly developed financial services sector make it an attractive hub for businesses and entrepreneurs. The Delaware Strategic Fund, administered by the Delaware Economic Development Office (DEDO), is a state agency that provides financial incentives to businesses that create jobs and invest in the state.
Fostering a Diverse Economy
One of the primary target outcomes of the Grants For Economic Progress program is to promote economic diversification in Delaware. The state's economy has historically been dominated by the financial services and corporate law sectors. However, there is a growing recognition of the need to diversify the economy and support emerging industries such as technology, healthcare, and renewable energy. For example, the Delaware Innovation Hub, located in the downtown area of Wilmington, provides resources and support to startups and entrepreneurs in the technology and life sciences sectors. By supporting businesses and initiatives in these emerging industries, the Grants For Economic Progress program aims to create a more diverse and resilient economy in Delaware.
Addressing Regional Disparities
Delaware's economy is not uniform across the state, with significant disparities between the northern and southern regions. The southern part of the state, particularly Sussex County, has faced challenges related to poverty, unemployment, and limited access to resources and opportunities. The Grants For Economic Progress program prioritizes initiatives that address these regional disparities and support economic development in underserved areas. For instance, the program may fund projects that provide job training and workforce development programs in Sussex County, or support businesses that create jobs in the region. By targeting resources to areas of need, the program aims to promote more equitable economic growth across the state.
Delaware's coastal economy and tourism industry are also key drivers of economic activity, with the state's beaches and coastal attractions drawing millions of visitors each year. However, this also presents challenges related to seasonal fluctuations in employment and the need to diversify the economy beyond tourism. The Grants For Economic Progress program takes these factors into account when evaluating funding applications.
Q: What types of businesses are most likely to receive funding through the Grants For Economic Progress program in Delaware?

A: Non-profit organizations can apply for funding by submitting a proposal that outlines their project or initiative and demonstrates how it aligns with the program's target outcomes, such as promoting economic diversification or addressing regional disparities.
Q: Are there any specific resources or support services available to businesses and organizations that receive funding through the Grants For Economic Progress program in Delaware?
