The Theta Forever Fund
Your investment is an outward sign of your belief that Theta is truly, forever.

Since 1870, Kappa Alpha Theta has empowered her members to discover their potential, fulfill their ambitions, and ultimately, make a difference in their communities and around the world.

 

Just like Theta has been there for you throughout your lifetime, the Theta Forever Fund ensures that Theta will continue to thrive, providing her members with lifelong opportunities for personal growth, and the same cherished sisterhood that shaped each of us.

 

With your support, Theta can maintain her relevance as a premiere leadership organization and give members everywhere the opportunity to grow in their perseverance, independence, and faith in the close companionship of true sisterhood. Every donation supports the educational, leadership, and philanthropic programs that help all Thetas become their best while also enabling Kappa Alpha Theta to provide the space for members to become change agents and innovators.

 

Throughout your lifetime, Theta will be there for you. What better way to celebrate your membership in Theta than with a gift to the Theta Forever Fund? Your investment is an outward sign of your commitment, appreciation, and ongoing belief that Kappa Alpha Theta is truly, forever.

 

Why is unrestricted annual support so important? Your unrestricted contribution to Theta Foundation’s Annual Fund is a tax-deductible way to demonstrate your belief in the promise and potential of the women of Kappa Alpha Theta. Your support helps bridge the gap between the experiences made possible from membership dues and the realities of educational and leadership expenses. Unrestricted annual donations are used to fund the Fraternity Grant, operating costs, and the programs that make Theta Foundation unique.
