About Kappa Delta Foundation
Kappa Delta Foundation Incorporated puts scholarships at the center of its work, while also funding leadership development, chapter housing, and philanthropic programs tied to women’s confidence and action. Among the largest recent grants, the foundation gave $536,481 to Prevent Child Abuse America in Chicago and $526,449 to Sigma Psi Housing LLC in Memphis, showing that its giving can reach both external nonprofit partners and chapter infrastructure at significant scale. The recent grant list also includes repeated support for Kappa Delta Sorority in Memphis, along with awards to house corporations and national organizations, which points to a funding pattern that combines member support with broader community and organizational investments. The foundation’s program menu reinforces that mix. It administers multiple scholarship programs for undergraduate, graduate, merit-based, need-based, and leadership awards, and it also supports KiDs Grants for projects with local nonprofit agencies serving families and children. Alumnae crisis assistance appears in the program lineup as well, indicating that the foundation funds both planned educational support and urgent individual need within its membership community. Recent grants to Girl Scouts of the USA, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and children’s health organizations show that its grantmaking extends beyond the sorority network into youth, health, and civic service partners.
What Kappa Delta Foundation Funds
Education is a core lane for the foundation, especially through scholarship funding. The program list includes undergraduate merit scholarships, undergraduate need-based scholarships, graduate merit scholarships, and the Corre Anding Stegall Collegiate Leadership Award, which is a $5,000 leadership scholarship for upperclassmen with Kappa Delta and campus leadership experience. The foundation also supports community-serving organizations. It gave $536,481 to Prevent Child Abuse America for program support, and it made another large program-support grant to Girl Scouts of the USA. Those awards fit its stated emphasis on women’s empowerment, leadership development, and community service. A third area is chapter housing and facilities. House corporations such as Sigma Tau House Corporation, Epsilon Iota House Corporation, Zeta Gamma House Corporation, and Sigma Omicron House Corporation received chapter house construction and improvement grants, showing that capital support for local chapters is part of the foundation’s grantmaking mix.
