2014-2016 DKG International Biennium Theme
Did You Know? You and/or your chapter can contribute money to:
The Eunah Temple Holden Leadership Fund sends $1000.00 each for five regional conference speakers; promotes parliamentary seminars, provides international president nominee training, supports administrative board and administrative staff orientation, conducts leadership workshops for chapter and state organization presidents? You can make donations to the fund by check or credit card and online forms are found in the top bar – Forms, Contributions. (www.dkg.org) Interest from the fund pays for the fund’s administration. The Eunah Temple Holden Leadership Fund Committee recommends specific use of the fund to the International Executive Board for authorization during the meetings at international conventions.
World Fellowships is the Society’s project to enable women from non-member countries to pursue advanced study in the United States and Canada. Over 858 women from 117 countries have received fellowships to come abroad to study and then to return home as a leader in their own country.
The Golden Gift Fund finances the Leadership Management Seminar held every other year in Austin, Texas. 30 participants are selected from across the global membership. Consider applying for your own attendance. Money given to this fund helps pay for participants to receive training in public speaking, business acumen, personal grooming and leadership development. Maryland has been well represented over the years. Feel free to ask Mary Lee Makinen or Barbara Devenport about this opportunity. They continue to serve at the International level and will have up-to-date information about the content of the seminar.
Schools in Africa is a partnership among UNICEF, The Nelson Mandela Foundation and the Hamburg Society that is helping more and more girls and boys get a quality education. By providing funds to support this cultural program the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International is helping children who previously were deprived of the chance to go to school. They miss out because of inadequate school facilities and poor teacher training. In addition, many schools lack gender separate sanitation facilities often causing adolescent girls to stay home. Contribution forms are available on the website. (www.dkg.org)
Emergency Fund: When natural disasters strike and damage homes or injure families, members are entitled to request a $500.00 gift to be used toward restoration. Please let the state president know if you are in need of money for use after sustaining damage or injury due to hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or other natural disasters. Your contributions help to keep this fund strong and available to many.
Educators Award Fund: At each international convention, a book is chosen to receive the Educator’s Award. The Educator’s Award Committee selects a book that has been written by a woman and whose content may influence the direction of thought and action necessary to meet the needs of today’s complex society. Furthermore, the content must be of more than local interest with relationship, direct or implied, to education everywhere. A monetary award is given to this winning author.
International Speakers Fund: The International Speaker’s Committee facilitates exchange of Society speakers among the member countries and helps to unite women educators of the world. Members complete an application to become a speaker. Funding is given to the speaker to cover travel expenses. Your contribution continues to give opportunity for the exchange of ideas. You could be that speaker who goes abroad to spread exemplary thoughts concerning education from the USA.
Scholarship Fund: DKG grants up to thirty $6,000 international scholarships to members to study at the master’s degree and $10,000 for study at the doctoral level. Your contributions enable the continuation of this worthy effort to assist those who want to further their education expertise. Why not only support the fund with your contribution, but take advantage of the scholarship money for yourself? Apply this year.
Educational Foundation: The Educational Foundation has awarded more than $3.3 million to members and nonmembers since 1964. Money donated to this cause is used to host Seminars in Purposeful Living previous to each international convention. Any educator may apply for project grants. Contribute to the Make-a-Miracle Fund (donating $500.00 at which time you receive an insignia pin www.dkgef.org) The Lucille Cornetet Individual Awards, funded through the Educational Foundation, help employed educators participate in professional development and attendance at seminars. States or chapters may also apply for project money.
