WHAT IS FOUNDERS’ DAY OF GIVING?

Founders’ Day of Giving is a crowdfunding initiative hosted by the Sigma Delta Tau Foundation to celebrate 107 years of sisterhood by encouraging charitable giving that will directly impact members. This year we are planning a week of generosity, inviting sisters to “Celebrate your sisterhood era.” Through the power of social media and crowdfunding, we will honor Sigma Delta Tau’s founding while giving give back to the sisterhood that has given so much to us.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Foundation will rally energy behind this charitable event through email, print mail, text messaging and social media. Donors support the emerging needs of SDT members with their Founders’ Day of Giving donation. This includes support for scholarships, leadership initiatives, safety, wellness, and hardship. Throughout the event, special giving challenges and incentives will be offered to help unite our sisterhood and inspire donations. The more we raise, the larger the impact we make for our sisters.
