Philanthropy

"Extra intellectual and material gifts bring with them the privilege and responsibilities of sharing with others less fortunate. Service is the rent we pay for living."

-From the book The Measure of Our Success by Marian Wright Edelman

Kappas have always been committed to sharing our time, talent and treasure with our communities, and at the 2004 National Convention, we adopted Reading is Fundamental as our national philanthropy.

Reading Is Fundamental, Inc. (RIF), works to build a literate nation by helping young people discover the joy of reading.  RIF's highest priority is to serve the nation's under-served children and families through the development and delivery of literacy programs and campaigns that motivate youth to read regularly.
