In 1998, Kappa Delta began its national collaboration with the Girl Scouts of the USA in order to lend hearts and hands to young women everywhere. With this partnership, KD became the first and only NPC group to adopt Girl Scouts as a national philanthropy.
Locally, we work with the Girl Scouts weekly through their Rites of Passage program.
Since 1981, Kappa Delta has supported the child abuse prevention efforts of Prevent Child Abuse America (PCA America), founded by a Kappa Delta, the late Donna Stone (Lambda-Northwestern).
Known nationally as Kappa Delta's "Shamrock Event," each year, thousands of KDs in hundreds of communities nationwide join forces in a collective effort to raise money for national and local child abuse prevention efforts.
Beginning in Spring 2005, PCA America will be launching a national blue wrist band campaign to raise awareness of, and funding for, its leading child abuse prevention efforts.
Of the money raised through these events, a full 80 percent of the proceeds stays in the local community and is donated to local child abuse agencies; the remaining 20 percent is donated to PCA America's national office for its national prevention efforts.

Kappa Delta’s support of the Children’s Hospital in Richmond, Virginia dates back to 1921. We became interested in the work being done in our founding state by William Tate Graham, M.D., a pioneer in the field known for treating polio victims. Dr. Graham had become renowned for his revolutionary approaches and never turned away a patient for their inability to pay.
Now more than 80 years later, the sorority’s monetary and tangible gifts have totaled more than $2.2 million. Kappa Delta continues to support Children’s Hospital through its annual gift of $25,000 from the Children in Need Fund of the Kappa Delta Foundation and from financial contributions made by chapters and alumnae associations.
