“Those who are the happiest are those who do the most for others.”
Booker T. Washington
Thank you for making a difference in the lives of others by donating to the Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation. Your donation shares the love and kindness we spread globally through our scholarships and grants programs and our International altruistic programs which improve lives in all of our communities.
In 2025 the Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation funded 135 scholarships and grants totaling $157,857. Recipients used their grant or scholarship funds in many ways, including:
Enabling middle school students to build and launch rockets to demonstrate and understand Newton’s three laws of motion
Purchasing light pads (tracing tables) to introduce a hands-on two-dimensional animation unit to secondary visual arts students enabling them to create their own flip book animation projects
Enriching educational experiences and fostering a love of reading through the purchase of multiple genres of books and a genre spinning wheel for an elementary school library
Funding through Disaster Relief donations for sisters who sustained damage, often catastrophic, to their homes this past hurricane season.
Using various forms of art to improve the intellectual and emotional health of youth in their school communities through art that incorporated a wide range of arts media
Learning to repair woodwind, brass and percussion instruments which resulted in students having less time without their instruments
Utilizing information gained from Masters courses to expand high school technology courses
Your donations are an investment in the future of education, educators and their students which result in:
Unlocking opportunities for members and nonmembers through scholarships, grants and other programs
Unlocking hearts and opening minds to new possibilities and innovations
Unlocking advancements in educational excellence, altruism and world understanding
On behalf of the Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation, our heartfelt thanks to you for your generosity.
