Harambee Delaware Funder Directory and
Funding Resources

One study of disparities in access to nonprofit funding found that “the unrestricted net assets of Black-led organizations are 76 percent smaller than their white-led counterparts.” 

Harambee Delaware is working to connect nonprofit founders and leaders of color to the resources they need to fuel and sustain their work. 

We’ve created this directory and the resources below to help leaders connect with sources of funding that might not be on their radar. 

We also hope that members of the philanthropic community will add or update their information here to democratize access to information about available funding.
