One-time or Recurring Gifts

Gifts to the KD Forever Fund are unrestricted, allowing the foundation to use your gift where it’s most needed. You will help us respond to the urgent needs of members and make an immediate impact. KD Forever Fund gifts strengthen the foundation’s scholarship, leadership training and philanthropic programs while providing ongoing operational support. 

A recurring gift to the foundation allows you to make a long-term investment in our sisterhood with smaller contributions. Decide the amount and frequency, and your gifts will process from your credit or debit card automatically.

Donor-Advised Fund Gifts

Making an irrevocable gift of personal assets may allow you to receive the maximum tax deduction allowed by the IRS. After consultation, once the fund has been established, you can recommend where grants are sent, like the Kappa Delta Foundation.

Stocks and Securities

By donating appreciated property to Kappa Delta, you can receive a tax deduction for the current fair market value of the asset while avoiding capital gains tax.

Scholarships, Intentions and Endowments

A scholarship can provide educational enrichment and the tools to guide Kappa Deltas to success. Establishing a scholarship is a great opportunity to leave a transformational impact on Kappa Delta women.  

Spreading out your payments on a large gift through a gift intention—an agreement to make a gift to the foundation—can help you give a generous gift using regular payments over time. 

We also accept endowment gifts. Unlike gifts for current use, endowment gifts provide security over the long term by expanding the foundation’s permanent financial base and creating a predictable source of future income for such things as endowed scholarships.
