What is the affiliation between The aKDPhi Foundation and the alpha Kappa Delta Phi International Sorority, Inc.?

The aKDPhi Foundation is the charitable arm of alpha Kappa Delta Phi. Founded in 2011 by the alpha Kappa Delta Phi Board of Directors, we were recognized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2013, and operate independently from the sorority.

Where do my donations go?

Your donations go towards the following campaigns in which you indicate:

  • The aKDPhi Foundation Scholarship Fund: Supports the scholarship programs

  • Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraising Campaign: Allocated to the annual BCA Grant Program

  • Mental Health Awareness Founders Program: Allocated to the ongoing MHA Grant Program

  • CAA Scholars Program: Allocated to scholarships specifically for members of your CAA/Chapter

  • General Fund: Supports the Foundation's operations, marketing, etc.

How do the grant programs work?

  • Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA): The BCA grant program launched in 2018 where funds raised are awarded to varying organizations each year that support BCA efforts and align with The aKDPhi Foundation’s mission & vision.

  • Mental Health Awareness & Support (MHA): The MHA grant program recently launched in Nov. 2020. Once the fund has raised $10,000+, we will announce the timing of our first Mental Health Grant Program to benefit organizations and charities who provide mental health awareness and support for minority communities.

  • For both grant programs, a selection committee made up of key stakeholders, including respective donors, assess all grant applications to determine grantees.
