Book Circles

The Delaware Community Foundation is committed to building opportunity for all and advancing racial equity.
Our community is stronger when we all have the opportunity to thrive, and for too long there have been, and continue to be, historic barriers, legal and cultural, to the full participation of Black and brown Delawareans.
In the fall of 2018, we launched Building Opportunity in Delaware, an annual program that brings a national speaker to Delaware who shares big ideas, sparks community conversations, and inspires civic action through their research and writing on the issues contributing to inequity and the opportunity gap in our country.
