What Network Delaware Inc does
Mission
Network Delaware's mission is to activate change agents.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
We launched our Mentor-Led Skill Learning Groups which has served over 68 people. We have 10 experienced mentors supporting Delaware change agents. Network Delaware's Skill Learning Groups connect new and experienced change agents to improve their ability to make a difference for the Social Good (community, economic opportunity, and/or social change).
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Leadership Development. We coached, trained, and supported over 250 people as measured by our 5-point internal Civic Leadership ladder we developed (ensure at least 60% are Black/Brown volunteers).
$220,368 spent$223,143 earned by the program45% of program spendingCivic Engagement We increased the amount of coaching we provide community partners in order to help them grow the Civic Leadership of their members. We increased the percentage of participants who strongly agree with the statement "With Network Delaware I feel part of an extraordinarily positive community" (as evidenced by our annual survey). We maintained/exceeded our 60% threshold for volunteer leadership positions being held by individuals of color and supporting their Civic Leadership growth.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $26k to $98k (+282%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
84% of NETWORK DELAWARE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $68k → $181k.
4 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of NETWORK DELAWARE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
NETWORK DELAWARE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
34% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund NETWORK DELAWARE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 56% · 2021 72% · 2022 59% · 2023 55% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
20% of NETWORK DELAWARE INC's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 75% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
91% of NETWORK DELAWARE INC's grant income comes from Delaware funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $216k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
