Local Philanthropy

The Denver Alumnae Association supports our Fraternity’s new philanthropy, Mental Health and Well-Being. This focus is timely and critical to the well-being of ALL members of Kappa Kappa Gamma and all generations of Kappa sisters.  Check out the Kappa Foundation’s support of TALKSPACE.com HERE.

Since September 2021 over 1500 Kappa undergraduates have connected with TALKSPACE.com for FREE online counseling. All Kappa actives have access to TALKSPACE for FREE during their undergraduate years and for the first year post-grad.  Alumnae are privileged to have access to this counseling service for $100 per month. Check it out!

Several DAA members are volunteer facilitators at Kappa’s renowned Leadership Academy held each fall at a camp in Marengo, Ohio.  There are chapter advisors, Fraternity leadership educators, and a few house board members in our generous association.

Undergraduate scholarships totaling $7700 were awarded local Kappa chapter members in 2021.  Scholarships are available by application through the Denver Kappa Friendship Fund, Inc. https://dkffund.weebly.com

Emergency funding via DKFF, Inc. was sent to several of our Kappa sisters who were affected by the devastating 2021 fires in Boulder County.  At the same time Denver Kappas supplied baby goods to Boulder Adventist Hospital as their NICU baby supplies were smoke damaged and needed replacements.

Holiday sharing donations are collected at our Founders Day celebration annually and three Kappa sisters received gifts and cards from DAA members. 

Reach Out and Read Colorado, RORCO, is sponsored by DAA at Doctors Care Clinic in downtown Littleton. This statewide early literacy and early relationships health nonprofit provides books and tools to support healthy family reading habits to families in need.  Every child from birth to five years old receives a brand new book and interaction with trained medical staff  during their biannual wellness visits. Books are the exam room tool to evaluate child development and discuss literacy skills with parents.  Kappa’s sponsorship provided over 400 books this year.  Masks of all sizes were sewn by Kappas and donated to keep the families at Doctors Care safer during the pandemic.
