Your Gifts in Action

Your generosity equips KDs everywhere with the tools to thrive and the confidence to chase their dreams

01

$874,178 for scholarships

This year, Kappa Delta awarded 314 undergraduate and graduate scholarships to 289 students from 109 chapters to support sisters worried about the cost and affordability of earning a college education. These scholarships included 26 prestigious Corre Anding Stegall Collegiate Leadership Award winners, our highest individual collegiate honor. Undergraduate and graduate students benefited from merit-based scholarships, while additional scholarships provided crucial financial aid to undergraduate sisters in need.

02

$141,397 in mental health education and member well-being programs

Kappa Delta empowers our members to lead with confidence, care and connection. More than 7,000 collegians and advisors engaged in KD’s virtual education platform, gaining accessible, high-quality training in hazing prevention, harm reduction, advisor education and more. Through the Name Your Story program, members learned to recognize signs of stress, support one another and strengthen their mental health. The Alcohol Skills Training Program (ASTP), a new initiative, also advanced our harm-reduction efforts, encouraging honest conversations about safety and responsible choices. Together, these educational programs continue our commitment to providing sisters with tools to make brave decisions for their well-being.

03

$501,810 in leadership programming and professional development

Your gifts facilitated critical training and professional development for Leadership Development Consultants, who are key to the success of KD’s nearly 23,000 collegiate members and their advisors. The Officer Experience Institute continued this work, offering immersive, role-specific training to more than 1,700 collegiate chapter leaders and advisors. Members benefited from dynamic speakers both in-person at National Convention and virtually through Confident Conversations, which encouraged over 2,000 attendees to lead with courage and authenticity. Articles in The Angelos reached all active members, and a grant to the Amplify Sorority Campaign advanced critical research to strengthen the sorority experience.

04

$744,579 in philanthropic grants

This funding supported our national philanthropies, including National Gold Award Girl Scout scholarships, Prevent Child Abuse America, the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU and research awards through the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Additionally, five KiDs Grants empowered alumnae and chapters to work with local nonprofits on projects that will improve the lives of children and families in their communities, like providing backpacks for foster children, meals for children facing food insecurity and resources for trauma recovery centers. Alumnae Crisis Grants offered emergency financial assistance to 17 sisters experiencing severe hardship.

$2.2 Million Awarded Because of Your Support

 

Some chapters establish a restricted fund with the foundation to raise tax-deductible funds that are then granted back for the educational portions of a chapter house construction or renovation project. Distributions year-over-year are contingent on current housing projects.

Your Lasting Impact

Hear from your sisters whose lives have been changed thanks to your generous support

"With the help of this scholarship, I can focus on my leadership roles and my future more than I was able to before.”

"When Hurricane Helene hit western NC, I lost my home. I worked constantly to assist my mom with all our new bills, which was taking away the free time that I had to study, show up for meetings, or recharge after a long day. With the help of this scholarship, I can focus on my leadership roles and my future more than I was able to before.” Emory Langley, Epsilon Epsilon–Appalachian State, scholarship recipient

"This scholarship has fostered confidence in my leadership abilities."

"Every girl I have interacted with in Kappa Delta has made me feel proud of who I am. We all lift each other up and support one another in whatever we do. With this scholarship money I am able to work less and lighten my load so that I’m able to make school my main priority." Alexis Luu, Pi-Nebraska, scholarship recipient

"Kappa Delta’s values — leadership, service, sisterhood — remain central to how I show up both personally and professionally.”

“I learned foundational leadership, financial stewardship and mentorship skills as an undergraduate serving in roles such as vice president-finance and sisterhood enrichment team leader. As an alumna, I have continued to grow by serving as a CAB member for Phi Epsilon-Colorado State University and on my local alumnae Panhellenic council. Kappa Delta’s values — leadership, service, sisterhood — remain central to how I show up both personally and professionally.” -Katie Rainville, Eta Lambda–Franklin & Marshall, scholarship recipient

"Everyone deserves the chance to experience the growth, leadership and sisterhood Kappa Delta offers."

"During my time as vice president-finance, I saw how financial stress can make Greek life feel out of reach for some members. That’s why I made it my mission to connect sisters with scholarships and resources, because everyone deserves the chance to experience the growth, leadership and sisterhood Kappa Delta offers... It meant a lot to me to help make financial education feel approachable and to support members who may have felt overwhelmed.” -April Faber, Xi–Pittsburgh, scholarship recipient

Alcohol Skills Training Program is the best programming I’ve ever seen."

“Alcohol Skills Training Program is the best programming I’ve ever seen — the best money Kappa Delta has ever spent on anything.” -Jordan Arnswald, Theta Kappa-Northern Arizona CAB member, KD National Leadership Team member and emergency management specialist
