Our Mission

The primary mission of the Kappa Delta Rho Foundation is to financially support the educational, leadership, and character development programs undertaken by the National Fraternity of Kappa Delta Rho. To accomplish this mission, the Foundation uses money generated by the Annual Fund Campaign each year to make grants to the National Fraternity. These grants help pay for the educational, leadership, and character development programming undertaken by the National Fraternity.

Foundation supported programs impact the lives of more than 300 undergraduate students each year. Foundation grants support programs such as:

Williams Leadership Academy
KDR Wilderness Institute
Leadership and Educational Manuals/Publications
Quill & Scroll
Recruitment Education
Undergraduate Intern Program
Advisor Training Program
Educational Leadership Consultant Program

Foundation grants comprise nearly 15% of the National Fraternity's operating budget. To put that in perspective, without Foundation grant support, undergraduate dues would have to be more than $100 higher per person.

Support for the Annual Fund Campaign by the members and friends of Kappa Delta Rho make these grants possible. Support for the annual fund has a direct impact on each individual chapter as well as individual undergraduate members.
