& INDIVIDUAL GRANTS
The Foundation supports sisters through the good times
and bad. One area of focus is sisters in need. Times have
been hard due to the significant number of natural
disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires. Personal
tragedies and illnesses have also plagued our sisters. For
many of these sisters, the Sigma Kappa Foundation was
able to provide relief from these challenging times through
the Sister to Sister Disaster Recovery Fund, Alumnae Heart
Fund and the newly-formed Collegiate Emergency Grants.
While our individual grants help one person, our 1874 Giving
Circle chapter grants focus on the communities in which
our collegiate chapters reside. Identifying unmet needs,
these grant recipients design robust projects that not only
showcase the generosity and service nature of Sigma Kappa
values but highlight the positive aspects of sorority life.
These collegiate women planned and executed projects
that helped the hungry, the homeless (both people and
pets), the illiterate, and the elderly.
