Merging finance and social impact to make a better world
Communities provide adequate infrastructure and public institutions
When it comes to driving long-term economic growth, few strategies are more effective than investing in infrastructure. Roads, bridges, water systems, broadband networks, and energy grids are not just physical assets—they are the foundation of a thriving economy. According to research from the Center for American Progress, public infrastructure investments yield significantly higher returns than previously thought, making them one of the smartest economic strategies for state governments.
A comprehensive study titled “Arts & Economic Prosperity 6” (AEP6), conducted by Americans for the Arts (AFTA), has unveiled the significant economic and social contributions of Delaware’s nonprofit arts and culture sector in 2022. The Delaware Division of the Arts reported that this industry generated $209.5 million in economic activity, comprising $148 million from organizational spending and $61.5 million from event-related audience expenditures. This financial activity supported 3,330 jobs and yielded $40 million in revenue for local, state, and federal governments.
