Amanda Sudowsky and Kristin Miller for Tapp Network at the Delaware Real Estate Summit.

In the room. Listening — from HB 450 and the ROAD-DE Act, to DSHA’s Year in Review with Matt Heckles.

Days like this keep us close to the housing work happening across Delaware.

Tapp Network was proud to sponsor the Hennovate the State Hackathon, hosted by the First State AI Institute at the University of Delaware in partnership with the State of Delaware - Government.

Thank you to Jon Bell for inviting us to support the event, and to Sunita Chandrasekaran, Director of the First State AI Institute and Associate Professor at UD, for helping bring this work to life.

Over three days, students worked alongside Delaware state employees to apply AI and machine learning to public-sector challenges.

We were glad to see Governor Matthew Meyer, Robert Osmond, CIO for the State of Delaware, and participating agencies supporting the next generation of technology leaders.

Thank you to the Delaware Division of the Arts, Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), DMV, Delaware Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS), and the Department of Children, Youth and Their Families for taking part.

We were proud to be in the room for this one. Students were working directly with Delaware agencies on challenges that affect how services get delivered, and local partners were there to help those ideas move from concept to something useful.

Excited to share this collaboration with the Delaware Academy of Medicine and Public Health and Delaware Health Force.

These new tools make Delaware’s healthcare workforce data easier to access, understand, and use, from labor trends and wages to rural workforce gaps across the state!

The Academy and Tapp Network have launched two new resources: the Healthcare Labor Statistics Dashboard and Regional Map tool.

These interactive tools provide valuable insights into healthcare employment, wages, workforce supply and demand, and geographic gaps—helping leaders identify needs and make data-informed decisions to strengthen Delaware’s healthcare workforce.

Ran into Rob Herrera this morning at the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce Networking Breakfast at The Mill Space in Seaford.

Great to see the progress at the newest location of The Mill. Hard to believe it has been 10 years since Tapp moved into the original location in Wilmington!

Good to see The Mill’s next chapter taking shape in Seaford.

Congratulations to Rob and the team!

Tapp was at the DPH Lab in Smyrna yesterday with the Health in Delaware Institute, judging final presentations from high school students who participated in the HEIDE-STEPS summer program.

It was a great chance to see the programming that lives on the other side of CHECK, the LMS we built to support public health training in Delaware.

The training team created an incredible experience for the students, and the students did an impressive job presenting what they learned.

We’re proud to support work that helps young people better understand public health in Delaware.

Two of the most talked-about billionaires in America cannot agree on how to give money away. Warren Buffett wants his fortune spent now. Elon Musk says doing it well is nearly impossible.

The disagreement points to a real problem. Most community investment has never been measurable. Grants fund scattered tools that never connect, leaving funders guessing what worked.

There is a better way to do it. Our new essay introduces R3, a framework for funding AI readiness, responsibility, and resilience across an entire group of nonprofits at once, with results funders can actually see. The Truist Foundation proved the model with a $1 million program that reached 50 organizations.

Kristin Miller represented Tapp Network at the Spur Impact Leadership Summit and connected with Jennifer Saienni, Director of Nonprofit Engagement at Spur Impact.

We were also proud to see Regina Donato, Director of Communications at the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce, moderate “Finding Your Fit: Cutting Through the Noise of Volunteer Opportunities” with Cheryl Bryant, Will Porter, and Demali Thomas.

The conversation reflected what makes Delaware’s ecosystem work: shared relationships, practical leadership, and people who know how to move community work forward.

Thank you to Spur Impact for bringing these leaders together. We were glad to be there.

Rural health is about to receive the largest investment in its history. Fifty billion dollars over five years. Then it stops.

What happens next turns on a question almost no one is asking. When the money runs out, will rural communities own what they built, or be left renting it back, subscription by subscription, until they can no longer afford it?

There is a better way, and the most powerful institutions in the country are already using it. We wrote about what rural health should demand from every dollar it spends: ownership, control, and technology built to last.

Your supporters should not feel the gaps in your systems.

When fundraising, marketing, and operations are disconnected, donors miss the right follow-up, campaigns lose momentum, and teams spend too much time stitching work together.

Join us with TechSoup for: How Nonprofits Build Systems That Actually Drive Fundraising and Engagement Webinar

We’ll cover how nonprofits can build a clearer supporter journey, connect the tools behind it, and use automation and AI where they support better engagement.

On-device AI is projected to grow from about $10.8 billion in 2025 to $75.5 billion by 2033, a 27.8% CAGR (Grand View Research). The signal underneath the number is that intelligence is moving onto devices and into workflows, closer to where decisions actually happen.

That matters most for government and the nonprofit sector. These are the fields holding the most sensitive data on the tightest budgets. Running AI on-device keeps that data inside the building and cuts cloud cost and latency, which lowers the two biggest barriers to adoption at the same time.

Our prediction: by the end of 2026, small task-specific models running locally become the practical default for this work. Gartner already projects organizations will use them roughly three times more than general-purpose LLMs by 2027.

What to do now: start with your data and governance, pick one workflow where privacy and speed both matter, and run it on a small local model. The architecture you build there carries everything that comes after.
