I already give to the Foundation. How is this different?  

We are extremely grateful for your donations to the Foundation! The Kappa Delta Foundation is a separate entity that supports the educational, leadership and charitable purposes of the sorority, as well as awarding scholarships for collegians and alumnae. On the other hand, alumnae dues support items like operations, technology development, marketing/public relations, and membership materials for chapters and associations. It’s important to note that how this money is spent is highly regulated by the IRS. 

Are alumnae dues the same as paying local alumnae chapter dues?
