Sigma Kappa Foundation

For more than 50 years, the Sigma Kappa Foundation has supported Sigma Kappa Sorority. Our Foundation plays a crucial role in the growth and success of Sigma Kappa, providing the lifeblood of financial resources to keep our Sorority vital and healthy. The mission of the Sigma Kappa Foundation is to create and fund leadership, scholarship and philanthropic initiatives that reflect the values and spirit of Sigma Kappa Sorority.

Inherit the Earth

Sigma Kappa is committed to improving the environment. Improvements can happen every day through purposeful actions and choices that, collectively, make a significant impact on the overall health of our planet. This national service initiative provides the opportunity for collegians, alumnae and citizens to work together to improve local environments.

Gerontology

In 1954, Sigma Kappa became the first sorority to recognize the need for continued comprehensive work on the study of aging and the needs of the elderly population. We continue to support this cause through initiatives like writing cards and making decorations for location nursing homes.

Maine Seacoast Mission

The 1918 convention chose the Maine Seacoast Mission as Sigma Kappa Sorority’s first national philanthropy in honor of Sigma Kappa’s founding in Maine. Through annual contributions from Sigma Kappa chapters and members, the Sigma Kappa Foundation provides funds to the Maine Seacoast Mission in support for the mission’s urgent needs.

Alzheimer’s Association

Sigma Kappa added an emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease research to its gerontology program in 1984.Every year, we participate in the Greater Boston Walk to End Alzheimer’s—it’s a wonderful way to spend time with other sigma while fundraising and raising awareness for a cause that’s important to us.
