Philanthropy

As a local sorority, KDE has complete control over our philanthropy initiatives. We aren’t bound to one particular cause, but instead have the freedom to focus our efforts toward all sorts of causes important to our sisters. Some of our recent philanthropic endeavors have been raising money for the Prouty at the Norris-Cotton Cancer Center at DHMC; cooking a meal for Upper Valley residents at the Upper Valley Haven; and partnering with Positive Tracks last summer to raise over $23,000 for three organizations fighting racial injustice.

KDEs are always finding new ways to serve our Dartmouth and Upper Valley community, but some of our regular philanthropy involvements include:

• Annual participation in the Prouty, an event each summer that raises money for cancer research at the Norris-Cotton Cancer Center at Dartmouth-Hitchcock
• DREAM, a mentoring program which pairs mentors with underprivileged children in the area
• Cooking dinner for the Haven, a homeless shelter in the Upper Valley area
• Pop-up thrift shops in partnership with Dartmouth’s Sustainability Office

If you have a philanthropy initiative you’re looking for a student organization to get involved in, please get in touch with our Philanthropy and Programming Chair by emailing kappa.delta.epsilon@dartmouth.edu!
