​History of Philanthropy: In December of 1999, Founding Mother Sheila Krishan traveled to India and visited various ashrams (shelters) in which young children resided.While there, she encountered many people from very young children to women who have committed their lives to helping these children and working in these ashrams.When Sheila returned to school and retold her experiences, the Mothers realized what they wanted their philanthropy to be.

• IOur philanthropy that we hold dear to our hearts, is Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention
• To date, Delta Kappa Delta has donated over $25,000 to organizations that promote the education, well-being and safety of children around the world.
• Our commitment to our philanthropy is displayed in our dedication to educating adults and children about the different types of physical, mental, and emotional abuse that a child can may suffer from.
• During April, Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Sisters nationwide host C.H.I.L.D. (Changing Hope Into a Lasting Difference) Week, with activities that highlight the importance of this issue. The Sisters hand out blue ribbons to promote awareness, hold forums to educate the community and many fund-raising events.
• We realize that we cannot change such devastating occurrences overnight; however, we believe that every ounce of time and effort given to child abuse prevention organizations, both national and local, will help at least one child.
