A lifelong educator and educational leader, Linda Poole is the CEO of Educationally Speaking, a company that assists educators with improving student achievement through analysis of current status and research-based recommendations. She was a friend and the primary advisor to DCF fundholder Helen Eliason, who died in 2017. Linda is an advisor to the Fund for Children’s Literacy, a DCF fund Helen established, which has served as the catalyst for the multiagency Children’s Literacy Alliance of Delaware since 2015. Linda also was a member of Gov. John Carney’s transition team and is a current member of the board of the Partnership, Inc., the 501(c)(3) education affiliate of the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce.

If there is one word I’d use to describe Linda Poole, it is passion. Linda has shown, through her career and volunteer activities, that she cares deeply about our children, and our collective future. She has provided counsel to DCF, and to educators and politicians for years upon years. And she’s got a bit of inspiration in her, too: “If every stable Delawarean would take hold of one child’s hand and not let go, equity would become reality.” Enjoy her comments.

Dr. Linda F. Poole, with long-time friend and philanthropist, the late Helen Eliason.

Where do you see the greatest potential for philanthropy to drive change in Delaware?
The more we do for children, the stronger the state will become. We need to support programs and organizations that provide our young people with opportunities to problem solve, interact, be challenged, and be heard. Families need available counselors, psychologists and psychiatrists. Providing mental health services and breaking generational poverty through education and employment are key to stabilizing our state’s future.

If you could do one thing to increase equity in Delaware, what would you do?
Inequity begins at birth. To break the cycle, one must have access to alternative models of living. Both informal and formal education provide alternatives. Delaware must seek and support individuals who have the expertise and commitment to work with families that are struggling. These individuals need to know that they have the financial backing as well as the tools that are needed to serve those in greatest need. Jobs, health care, education, and housing are essentials – not options. If every stable Delawarean would take hold of one child’s hand and not let go, equity would become reality.

What are the greatest factors influencing your decisions when you consider opportunities you could support?
Central to my investment of time or funds is the direct impact to the cause I’m supporting. Prevention and advancement are two guideposts I look for. The earlier, more direct a service is provided, the better the chance of eliminating the problem rather than simply bandaging it. Providing a strong education to all of Delaware’s children, ensuring that they have nutritious food and providing them with safe, quality care are three pivotal services that will have a lifetime of impact.

How does your philanthropy contribute to expanding opportunities for people in Delaware?
Along with working with the Fund for Children’s Literacy and the Education and Greening Fund, I serve on the DCF Scholarship Review Committee. Scholarships managed through the Delaware Community Foundation are available to an enormous range of students of all ages and interests. Philanthropists who have established the scholarships are increasing the opportunities for Delawareans to reach their potential and accomplish their dreams. It is rewarding to serve in this way.

Is there a philanthropist or philanthropic organization that inspires you? IF so, why?
Helen L. Eliason was the consummate philanthropist. She wanted no honors or recognition. She gave to enable others to be successful. She gave to make Delaware stronger. Helen did her research and asked questions before investing time or money. Helen was a learner. She read everything and knew that words were important. She encouraged communication and collaboration among people and agencies. Even now, after her passing, Helen’s philanthropy continues in perpetuity to improve the quality of lives of Delawareans. Helen was my hero.

“Project Soapbox” Inspires Wilmington Students

We’re in a kind of civics education revival in America.

For too many years, civics education has in too many circles been seen as a kind of quaint afterthought. We’ve cut back the time and importance of civics in our schools. And we thought it wouldn’t really matter.

But what we’re all finding is that the core value of democracy is losing some hold. In a 2018 survey, the bi-partisan Democracy Project asked a series of questions about democracy and Americans’ attitudes toward it. While the overall numbers remain extremely strong, young adults feel less strongly about the importance of democracy than adults over age 29. Meanwhile, more than 70% of Americans think America’s system of democracy as “weak.”

We clearly have work to do.

Not surprisingly, this is leading to broad and diverse calls for more civics education – from the political right, the political left to everywhere in between, Americans want more civics education and more commitment to American democracy. It seems the topics of civics education, civility and civic engagement are on the agenda of most of the national conferences I’m attending these days. At DCF, we’re looking for more civics education, too.

There are some great programs in Delaware. The long-standing Boys State and Girls State programs – sponsored by the American Legion – continue to inspire high school students to get involved. (I attended Buckeye Boys State at Ohio University many many years ago – and still remember it fondly.) The YMCA Youth in Government program does the same. The University of Delaware continues to run a first-rate training program for high school civics educators in the state.

Now, there’s a new entrant on the scene. Project Soapbox is a creation of the Mikva Challenge – a Chicago-based nonprofit committed to strengthening civics education. DCF and the Rodel Foundation were pleased to co-sponsor the project this year – in which eighty Red Clay School District middle school students stood up and spoke on issues that mattered to them – from net neutrality to human trafficking to animal welfare and more. A few dozen interested adults helped judge. We’re thrilled that the Red Clay teachers wanted to bring it here, and thrilled we could be part of it. You can read more about it here.

Going forward, we will be looking for more opportunities to help strengthen civics education in Delaware. If you’re interested in helping, let me know.

5 Questions with Stu: Michelle Taylor, President & CEO, United Way of Delaware

Michelle Taylor has served Delaware’s communities through her work at United Way of Delaware for almost 20 years – more than half of that as the organization’s president & CEO, where she leads the organization’s focus on early education, college and career readiness, and financial stability in eight “promise communities.” She is an important voice among Delaware’s nonprofit infrastructure, and always exhibits a deep passion for those who have fewer resources and greater need. Michelle serves on a number of local boards (including as an ex oficio member of the DCF Board.)

5 Questions with Michelle Taylor

What motivated you to get involved in public service?

I’ve always been involved in the public service sector, which is what I believe I’ve been called to do. Every day, I get to work with amazing people and together we’re changing lives for the better across our community. The fact is, if you love what you’re doing like I do, you never really work a day in your life. And public service work is definitely what I love doing.

What community endeavors are you proudest to engage in?

I’m most proud of our collective work with partners on issues of common cause, especially when we can leverage United Way’s breadth of relationships. As I look back, one thing I am proud of is United Way’s leadership in Governor Markell’s effort to organize and launch Delaware Stars. In those early years, United Way was part of a group of determined advocates who saw the value of ensuring that children were prepared to succeed in school, and who stuck with it and propelled that work forward. Today, Delaware Stars is a given; but at that time, it was not. And so, I’m proud that United Way was a part of laying that foundation.

How does your organization contribute to expanding opportunity for people in Delaware?

United Way is focused on changing more than the conditions we see in our under-served communities. Our real goal is to change the long-term trajectory for the people living in these communities, and by doing that, to change the trajectory for the entire community. We work at both the systemic level, on things like advocacy and policy, and at the grassroots level on programming that impacts people where they live. We focus on evidence-based strategies, on working with the right partners, and on advocating for communities of greatest need. It’s not easy, and not every organization has the capacity to do that. But I think working to change the trajectory of our community is one of our sweet spots.

Is there a philanthropist or philanthropic organization that inspires you?

I’ve been fortunate to work with so many who’ve inspired me; identifying one by name is nearly impossible. But I can tell you the qualities that these individuals have in common. Each is able to look beyond themselves, and beyond the immediate situation, and to feel true empathy, not pity, for those who may not be as fortunate. Knowing that but for a chance encounter, a lucky break, or even the zip code where they were born that they too might be walking a different path in life, they never lose sight that we’re all in this together. I’m also struck by the fact that these people never seek credit for what they do. I find all of that pretty inspiring.

If you could do one thing to increase equity in Delaware, what would you do?

I’d be sure every child in Delaware was reading on grade level by the end of third grade. That’s when kids stop learning to read and start reading to learn. Doing that one thing alone would make Delaware a more equitable place because it would even the playing field. If every child, regardless of zip code, was reading on grade level, and had equitable access to resources, we could increase equity in Delaware in a generation. The great thing is this: We know how to do it. What’s required now is the will.

5 Questions with Stu: Talking Philanthropy with Nick Moriello from Highmark

I’m very pleased to introduce a new element to my blog. Each month – beginning today – I’ll be posting another in a new series we’re calling “5 Questions with Stu.”

Each month, we’re asking local philanthropic leaders to answer five questions about how they view philanthropy in their work, their lives, or their organizations. It’s a chance to hear from people we all know, and some you may not know – but in a different way. I hope you like it.

We begin with Nick Moriello from Highmark Delaware. Highmark has proven to be an important player in the state’s philanthropic landscape, with their attention to healthy communities. They have been major supporters behind important work in the area of opioid addiction, and many other things. Nick has served as market President for Highmark Delaware since August of 2018, after serving for over 25 years in other healthcare related positions.

5 Questions with Nick Moriello
President, Highmark Delaware

Why is philanthropy important to you?
As a native Delawarean and President of Highmark Delaware, a company that traces our Delaware roots back more than 80 years, supporting our community through philanthropy and events like the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community inspires me. Whether it is helping a Delawarean overcome addiction or breaking down the barriers to quality health care, our philanthropy makes me proud of what we do. We make a difference, and we see it every day as we work in partnership with so many stakeholders to build a stronger, healthier community.

What are the greatest factors influencing your decisions when you consider opportunities you could support?
Two of the most important factors we consider are overall community impact and the capacity of our nonprofit partner to reach the goals they have set.

The large majority of our giving is through our BluePrints for the Community Fund. Since its inception in 2007, BluePrints has made over $13 million in grants and served nearly 100,000 Delawareans. More than 10 percent of Delawareans have been impacted by a BluePrints grant.

Our BluePrints grants focus on four main areas:

•Increasing access to health care for the uninsured/underserved
•Reducing health disparities in minority communities
•Supporting early childhood development with initiatives focused on health
•Recruiting and training health care professionals.

What community endeavors are you proudest to support or engage in?
I am equally proud of two initiatives. First, I am extremely proud of our efforts to combat the opioid crisis. In 2018, we announced $325,000 in grants to four community organizations that are fighting the opioid epidemic in Delaware. Our nonprofit partners are reaching every corner of our state and taking a multi-faceted approach to addressing the opioid crisis.

My second point of pride is our annual Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community. Last year, our fifth annual walk included 20 local nonprofit partners and more than 1,300 walkers who raised over $186,000 – a new record. Highmark Delaware completely underwrites the cost of the walk, which means 100 percent of the funds raised goes directly to our nonprofit community.

In five years, the Highmark Walk has raised over $600,000 for Delaware nonprofits.

Where do you see the greatest potential for philanthropy to drive change in Delaware?
Our greatest potential to drive change will come through partnerships. There’s not one organization or donor who can be the sole driver of impactful change. If we are going to truly impact our communities and make real change, we need to collaborate and align our funding decisions. Government, foundations, corporations and nonprofit partners all need to work in unison if we are going to drive real change. A great example of the power of partnership is how the Delaware Center for Health Innovation (DCHI) engaged health care stakeholders, which has led to Healthy Communities Delaware, built on the foundation of DCHI’s initial work.

If you could do one thing to increase equity in Delaware, what would you do?
Increase access to high-quality health care. As a health and wellness leader in our state, increasing access to health care is a priority that Highmark is deeply committed to advancing in meaningful, community-focused ways. We work with our members every day to remove barriers and align our philanthropic giving with nonprofit partners who support those efforts. From supporting more accessible transportation for seniors in Sussex County or funding scholarships for preventative care initiatives like the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program, our philanthropy is another way we are helping to increase access to care and build a healthier Delaware.

Wilmington’s Racial Wealth Divide

Posted by Stuart Comstock-Gay

“Economic inequality has expanded over the past decade, shutting the windows of opportunity to millions of Americans. In urban centers, this growing inequality has manifested through gentrification and the continued concentration of poverty in communities of color.”
– Racial Wealth Divide in Wilmington, Prosperity Now and JP Morgan Chase, March 2019

We have spent considerable time here at the DCF talking about the Opportunity Gap in America – and in Delaware. There are many issues that fuel this gap…education, employment, family connections, family stability, crime…

In addition to those factors, we also know that race is at the front of Opportunity Gap drivers. The new report from Prosperity Now and JP Morgan Chase – “Racial Wealth Divide in Wilmington,” brings that fact home in powerful way. The report – issued in March – shows that racial economic inequality is not just embedded across the country, but that economic racial divide is deeply enmeshed in Wilmington. For instance, in Wilmington, the overall median income is $40,065, a full $15,000 below the national median income. But notably, the median income of black residents is only $30,034, and for Latinos it’s just under $33,000. For whites that number is over $60,000.

We’ve seen this data before. It peppers the entirety of the DelawareFocus website. But this new report goes deeper, addressing issues like the cost-burden to renters and the wealth divide – a particularly pernicious and long-lasting divide. It discusses the education divide, where only 64% of Latinos in Wilmington have a high school degree, compared to over 80% of Blacks and Asians, and 90% of the white population.

All of us need . And the authors – Prosperity Now and JP Morgan Chase – challenge all of us. We need to better understand this historical divide. And we need to start doing something new. For one, the organizations behind the report will be launching the Racial Wealth Divide Initiative here in Wilmington, providing new leadership.

In a future blog, I’ll talk about DCF’s new equity cohort, a group of 12 Wilmington area community activists and leaders who are going to look at equity in Wilmington, and come up with recommendations for our work.

In the meantime, we look forward to partnering with our colleagues involved in this work, and commit to addressing the challenges in a more active way.

Libraries – Our Community Places

Posted by Stuart Comstock-Gay

Libraries Rule!

This week, we learned the following:

New Castle County’s Route 9 Library and Innovation Center was named a finalist for the 2019 National Medal for Museum and Library Service. This prestigious award, given annually by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, is the nation’s highest honor recognizing museums and libraries for service to their communities. Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester nominated the library for this recognition.

The Route 9 library rocks. But not just that one. Libraries up and down the state provide incredibly important services and incredibly valuable community building functions. Libraries host financial literacy classes, job search seminars, public briefings, art shows, children’s time, computer classes, movie screenings, nonprofit board meetings, knitting sessions; they serve as a place for children to go after school, for seniors to meet during the day.

To pick just one, the Lewes Library last year hosted over 1,000 free programs (including 6 for children each week) with over 20,000 attendees; and hosted over 100 organizations and groups conducted over 800 meetings in their community rooms. Check out the website of your library. You’ll be amazed who is there.

Libraries are the quintessential small-d democratic community institution. It’s where we all meet, where we socialize, where we learn and where we relax.

I just finished a tremendous book called Palaces for the People. It’s by Eric Klinenberg and it’s a discussion about the increasing polarization in America, and the need to find common purpose. To do that, Klinenberg emphasizes the importance of shared places. Front and center are libraries. The name of the book comes from a term used during the construction of the hundreds of Carnegie libraries in the country in the early 20th century. Palaces for the people.

One of my favorite quotes from that book is from a young man named Andrew who works at the New York Public Library. He’d previously worked at Starbucks, and here’s what he said: “At Starbucks, and at most businesses, really, the assumption is that you, the customer, are better for having this thing that you purchase. Right? At the library, the assumption is you are better. You have it in you already. You just sort of need to be exposed to these things and provide yourself an education. The library assumes the best out of people. The services it provides are founded upon the assumption that if given the chance, people will improve themselves.”

Here’s what the Delaware state libraries say: “When community social infrastructure including libraries – is strong – individuals AND communities flourish!”

Hear hear.

While many of our long-time infrastructures are struggling, libraries continue to be strong.

So congratulations to New Castle County and the Route 9 library. And congratulations to all the libraries in the state and elsewhere – which strengthen our communities and strengthen our democracy.

And if you haven’t been to a library lately, stop by. It’s where we can be our best selves. And it’s where America meets.

Going Far Together

Posted by Stuart Comstock-Gay

It’s long been said that if you want to go quickly, you go alone. But if you want to go far, go together.

Yesterday’s Focus on Wilmington showed the power of going together. It was DCF’s first community engagement session this year, and brought together 14 collaborative programs in the city, with a hundred citizens, leaders and activists – to share innovative work and break down silos.

Dorrell Green, recently named superintendent of the Red Clay School District, spoke about the Dual Generation Center at Stubbs Elementary School, a partnership between the state and Christina School District – a new center that will focus on early education but provide support for a broad range of family issues. Said Green to WDEL. “No one entity can do it alone. I just think this [event] is a good example of folks coming together to support, as a whole.”

From the Stubbs project to the comprehensive plans of REACH Riverside to break the burdens of inter-generational poverty in the Riverside Community, to the work of the Wilmington Leaders Alliance and Generations to reinvent employment pipelines, we heard from many of Wilmington’s most inspiring collaborative efforts. You can read about the programs that were highlighted here.

During the event, participants said things like, “I heard about things I’ve been wanting to do and learned they are already happening, and being done better,” and “This was a great way to learn about how funding aligns with community needs and a great way to connect with leaders.” And “I just didn’t know about this program, and it’s exactly what I’m looking for.” Collaboration is indeed well practiced in Wilmington and Delaware, with leaders like the Wilmington Community Advisory Council and United Way doing heavy lifting.

DCF organized this event as one of many activities to build on the work of our fall 2018 community leadership lecture from Bob Putnam, talking about his book Our Kids and about the opportunity gap in America. During the lead up to that event, and afterward, we heard repeatedly from friends and colleagues that folks wanted to know more about what’s going on and how to plug in. Even those of us most involved keep finding new programs that we didn’t previously know about, and which are great opportunities for partnerships.

There is so much tremendous work going on. And everybody knows that we need to work together. Most of us are working together. This program tried to broaden the connections. And it’s not the end. DCF is committed to helping bring people together to strengthen partnerships up and down the state. Watch for more about future focus conversations.

Quality Early Childhood Education Can Change Everything

Posted by Stuart Comstock-Gay

· Monday, February 4th, 2019

It would be hard to identify an issue that could have a greater impact on Delaware than high quality early childhood education. In this op-ed, from the January 22 News Journal, Lynn Kokjohn, (Chair of DCF’s Fund for Women) and I talk about why this matters.

***

How can we really expand opportunity for kids in Delaware?

Plain and simple, invest in high-quality early childhood education, said Robert Putnam, author of New York Times bestseller “Our Kids.”

Putnam has investigated decades of data on the factors that influence kids’ lives, in school and throughout their future.

When Putnam visited Delaware this fall for a Delaware Community Foundation event, his presentation made clear that early learning is one of the best – and highest yielding – investments a society can make. Experts equate a $4 to $9 return for every dollar spent on high-quality early learning programs for low-income children.

Arsht-Cannon Fund: The Epitome of Good Philanthropy

Posted by Stuart Comstock-Gay

· Monday, October 29th, 2018

· 3 Comments

(In Spanish below)

Focus. Strategy. Persistence.

These are the qualities of the Arsht-Cannon Fund, one of the DCF’s most exciting donor advised funds.

Under the leadership of Adrienne Arsht and Dr. Christine Cannon, the Arsht-Cannon Fund is making a powerful impact on Latino families and communities in Delaware.

As we approach this year’s Delaware Hispanic Commission Summit on October 30, it’s worth highlighting its strategies.

The Arsht-Cannon Fund was founded nearly 15 years ago out of the estate of the Honorable Roxana Cannon Arsht and S. Samuel Arsht.

As far back as 2006, the fund partnered with Governor Ruth Ann Minner to create the Governor’s Consortium on Hispanic Affairs to address the community’s needs, including managing funds provided by the Arsht-Cannon Fund.

Since that time, the Arsht-Cannon Fund has invested nearly $9 million in creating opportunity for Delaware’s Hispanic families:

Providing ongoing support for educational opportunities and attainment – through support of bilingual teachers, staff and tutors, at programs including TeenSHARP, Reading Assist, Tyler’s Camp, and Leading Youth Through Empowerment (LYTE).

Highlighting the fact that Delaware is one of only four states that does not provide additional state resources to English learners, and that fewer than three out of four Delaware English learners graduate high school. The fund has partnered with the Rodel Foundation (also part of the DCF) and many others in this work.

Strengthening access to health care by expanding bilingual/bicultural services and expanding staffing at organizations including the Family Counseling Center of St. Paul’s, the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Delaware, the Sussex County Health Coalition, and the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware.

Perhaps most exciting, the fund has recently helped underwrite and establish a new initiative called La Colectiva. This new collaborative of Hispanic-serving nonprofits is developing new approaches to addressing the key issues, needs and opportunities of Sussex County’s Latino families. It’s a powerful collective-impact approach that wouldn’t have come together without the Arsht-Cannon Fund.

At a time when, in other parts of the country, donor advised funds are being criticized for their lack of connection to communities, the Arsht-Cannon Fund continues to prove itself to be entirely the opposite.

Its focus and strategy, their willingness to explore new approaches, its ability to listen to the communities they serve, its passion for partnership with nonprofits and other funds…. It’s the epitome of good philanthropy.

Congratulations to the Arsht-Cannon Fund. We look forward to continue learning from you and working with you.

Arsht-Canon Fund: El Resumen de la Buena Filantropía

(In English above)

Foco. Estrategia. Perseverancia.

Estas son las cualidades del Arsht-Cannon Fund, uno de los más emocionantes fondos asesorados por donantes de la Delaware Community Foundation.

Bajo el liderazgo de Adrienne Arsht y la Dra. Christine Cannon, el Arsht-Cannon Fund está logrando un gran impacto en las familias latinas de Delaware.

Se acerca la cumbre anual de la Comisión Hispana de Delaware, que se realizará el 30 de octubre, y vale la pena destacar las estrategias del fondo.

El Arsht-Cannon Fund se fundó hace unos 15 años con el patrimonio de la jueza Roxana Cannon Arsht y S. Samuel Arsht.

Allá por 2006, el fondo estableció una alianza con la gobernadora Ruth Ann Minner para crear el Consorcio de Asuntos Hispanos de la Gobernación (Governor’s Consortium on Hispanic Affairs) con el fin de abordar las necesidades de la comunidad, incluida la administración de los fondos provistos por el Arsht-Cannon Fund.

Desde ese entonces, el Arsht-Cannon Fund ha invertido casi 9 millones de dólares en crear oportunidades para las familias hispanas de Delaware de las siguientes maneras:

Brindando apoyo continuo para oportunidades y logros educativos a través de financiamiento a miembros del personal, profesores particulares y docentes bilingües en diferentes programas, incluidos TeenSHARP, Reading Assist, Tyler’s Camp y Leading Youth Through Empowerment (LYTE).

Destacando el hecho de que Delaware es uno de los únicos cuatro estados que no proveen recursos estatales adicionales a estudiantes de inglés, y que menos de tres de cuatro estudiantes de inglés en Delaware se gradúan de la escuela secundaria. El fondo ha formado una alianza con la Rodel Foundation y muchas otras organizaciones para trabajar en esta área.

Mejorando el acceso a la atención médica mediante la ampliación de servicios bilingües y biculturales, y el incremento de personal en diversas organizaciones, incluido el Centro de Orientación Familiar de St. Paul (Family Counseling Center of St. Paul’s, FCCSP), la Alianza Nacional sobre Enfermedades Mentales (National Alliance on Mental Illness, NAMI) de Delaware, la Coalición para la Salud del Condado de Sussex (Sussex County Health Coalition) y la Casa de Ronald McDonald.

Quizás lo más emocionante que hizo el fondo últimamente fue ayudar a financiar y establecer una nueva iniciativa denominada La Colectiva. Este nuevo esfuerzo de colaboración entre organizaciones sin fines de lucro que ayudan a personas de origen hispano está desarrollando nuevas metodologías para abordar los principales problemas, necesidades y oportunidades de las familias latinas en el condado de Sussex. Es un poderoso enfoque de impacto colectivo que no habría sido posible sin la participación del Arsht-Cannon Fund.

En una época en que los fondos asesorados por donantes son objeto de críticas por su falta de conexión con las comunidades, el ArshtCannon Fund sigue demostrando que es todo lo contrario.

Su foco y estrategia, su predisposición para explorar nuevas metodologías, su capacidad para escuchar a las comunidades donde operan, su pasión por establecer alianzas con organizaciones sin fines de lucro y otros fondos… Es el resumen de la buena filantropía.

Felicitaciones al Arsht-Cannon Fund. Esperamos seguir aprendiendo y trabajando con ustedes.
