Donna Heather To strengthen its support of philanthropic endeavors and inspire Sigma Kappa members and society through educational programming, Sigma Kappa Foundation has launched a new initiative called Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD), which is strategically designed to connect with young alumnae and raise funds to support the mission of the Sigma Kappa Foundation. “National research validates our continued desire to connect with our young, active and giving alumnae and support the leadership and programming for our membership and our philanthropies,” Glenna Pierpont, president, said. “This forward-thinking approach to building Expanding the impact of the Sigma Kappa Foundation requires not only effective utilization of financial resources, but also of human resources. In its pilot year, the newly enhanced Ambassadors Program proved that personal contact with Foundation representatives can do far more to enhance the understanding of our mission than any other single effort can. The nearly 50 Ambassadors assigned to collegiate and alumnae chapters began their work at convention with an educational session on 28 Parents’ Campaign continued on page 29 Supporting the Heart of Sigma Kappa Graduates of the Last Decade Inspiration. a sustainable base of major gift donors is an ideal next step for the Foundation and will accelerate the growth of our fundraising efforts.” “It is important for us to develop and foster relationships with all Sigma Kappa alumnae and inspire them to stay connected,” explained Allison Lewis, executive director. “This new program allows us to celebrate the personal and professional growth of our young alumnae by creating a dialogue between our collegiate members and those who have benefited from their Sigma Kappa experience over the years.” Sigma Kappa Foundation has hired two new development directors, Heather Bloom Hall, Alpha Sigma, and Donna Reed, Epsilon Zeta,to focus their efforts on GOLD to ensure its success to complement the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to supporting Sigma Kappa Sorority and her members nationwide. Enhanced Ambassadors Program Becomes a Reality the Foundation and receipt of a toolkit of resources to assist them in making the case for support to others, to articulate the specific needs of Sigma Kappa members and the philanthropic commitments of our organization. As a result, the Sigma Kappa Foundation had a record year, raising more Annual Fund dollars than ever before so that new initiatives could be launched to further our mission. Future development of the program included professional fundraising training led by consulting experts, quarterly training and development conference calls, and more recruitment to place Ambassadors in areas where there is currently little outreach.We thank our Ambassadors and other volunteers for their outstanding achievements.

Since the announcement of our five-year strategic planning effort in 2006, the Sigma Kappa Foundation has worked diligently to incorporate best practices, donor and grantee feedback, and subject expertise into ideas for new and improved initiatives that have measurable outcomes and achievable timelines.The Sigma Kappa Foundation’s 2007-2011 Strategic Plan has now been finalized and approved as the guiding document in the Foundation’s present and future work. The plan has been organized into five major areas of focus: Communication, Entity Relationships, Fundraising, Leadership and Governance, and Operations. Major goals, objectives and actionable strategies have been developed to achieve the vision to be a dynamic organization, pioneering innovative programs that answer emerging challenges facing women today and have a direct and positive impact on all Sigma Kappa members and their communities. As identified in the plan, future internal and external communication protocols and methods will enhance and broaden the reach of the Foundation’s message in support of transparency and ethical accountability.Together with other Sigma Kappa entity leadership, synergistic growth and improvement opportunities will be pursued to benefit all Sigma Kappa members. Further, fundraising techniques for major and planned gift cultivation, solicitation and stewardship have been identified for use with benchmarks set to consistently increase the capacity of the Foundation to respond to the needs of Sigma Kappa and society. To achieve this, the Board of Trustees has committed to a more efficient governance model and a leadership role in donor relationshipbuilding.This will be supported by the operational goals to execute Supporting the Heart of Sigma Kappa Sigma Kappa Foundation 2007-2011 Strategic Plan grant programs, recognize donors and improve efficiency with minimal overhead through technology and effective resource utilization to achieve maximum results. Specifically, by implementing the steps identified in the strategic plan, by 2011 the Sigma Kappa Foundation will be: • A leading organization committed to members of Sigma Kappa Sorority through its premier programming and fund development • An organization that other nonprofit organizations contact to learn best practices and seek counsel • Providing at least 100 scholarships each year at a minimum of $1,000 • A foremost provider of solutions to challenges facing college campuses • A trusted resource for quality reporting, investments, and communication to membership and donor community • A model steward of resources (finances, volunteers, staff, facilities) • Raising major gift funds and increasing the total donors by 10% annually • Securing planned gifts at all levels, including $1 million+ • “Making Alzheimer’s a Distant Memory” by creating a major funding stream for Alzheimer’s disease research to find a cure To review the Sigma Kappa Foundation 2007-2011 Strategic Plan in detail, please visit our website at: www.sigmakappafoundation.org.
