The Coalition for Delaware's Kids is a diverse group of organizations involved with education, faith, health care, law enforcement, criminal justice reform, and civic engagement who all care about long-term investment in our young people.

Delaware has $55 million in unanticipated revenues. We believe this money should be spread out over four years in a “Hope Trust for Kids,” rather than spent all at once. This money should be dedicated entirely to programs that will benefit Delaware’s children, particularly those living in poverty. We believe now is the time to invest. There are enormous long-term benefits to putting our kids in a position to succeed – including preventing allowing young people slipping into the cracks of the criminal justice system.
