Charitable Engagement Service

Supporting the Dreams of Achievement for Women & Their Families

In alignment with our mission, the Delta Research and Educational Foundation promotes research centering the national and global issues impacting African American women and their families, through charitable and educational programs of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, and collaborative community, civic, and philanthropic organizations.

Charitable engagement strategy and fundraising support is available exclusively to the Chapters of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. The Charitable Engagement Team provides educational and technical assistance to Chapters seeking to establish a DREF Fund, request approval to partner with DREF on community fundraising events, and disburse scholarship funds to college students returning to campus.

To initiate engagement with DREF, please connect with our team at engagement@deltafoundation.net. All documents and forms may be accessed here.
