What is the Foundation?
The Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation is a charitable and educational tax-exempt organization, independent from the Fraternity, whose mission is to link members with resources to help them reach their fullest potential and to make a difference in the world. Created by Thetas for Thetas, the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation is dedicated to raising money for scholarships, educational and leadership grants, and financial hardship grants for our Kappa Alpha Theta members.
How does Theta support the Foundation?
Chapters can support the Foundation through their annual fundraisers by sharing a portion of their proceeds with the Foundation. Like individuals, they can also establish named endowed funds. Alumnae chapters are required to make an annual unrestricted donation to the Foundation and a restricted gift to the Friendship Fund. College chapters are encouraged to give a gift annually and must to do so to be eligible for the Fraternity's top convention awards.
In return, the Foundation supports the Fraternity, helping to make the Fraternity's educational and leadership programs possible through an annual grant. This allows the Fraternity to direct resources to other important programming. The Foundation's vision is to one day be able to give every Theta every opportunity to make a difference. For this reason, the Fraternity and its members recognize the importance of supporting the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation in promoting our values of highest scholarship and widest influence for good.
