Give to the Annual Fund
Would you like to include Omicron Delta Kappa in your annual philanthropic plans? When you give an unrestricted gift to O∆K, you are supporting the primary needs of the organization. These typically include circle support, career resources, and member communications. Unless donors indicate that a gift is restricted, all gifts to O∆K are considered unrestricted. Give now to support the Annual Fund!
Support the 2023 National Leadership Conference
It takes a lot to produce Omicron Delta Kappa’s Annual National Leadership Conference (NLC). There are the expenses of meals for the participants, travel for the speakers, and materials for the attendees. In the interest of keeping the registration fees as low as possible for the Society’s collegiate members and advisors, O∆K is seeking to raise $50,000 in additional funding for the 2023 NLC. The 2023 conference will be held at the Westin Buckhead in greater Atlanta from November 17-19. The program will include sessions on leadership development, circle operations, and career advancement.
Give to the Key Fund
Are you interested in supporting scholarships and the gift of membership for students from underrepresented and historically marginalized racial and ethnic minority groups? The Key Fund also supports the Society’s diversity, equity, and inclusivity leadership development programming.
Give to the Scholarship Fund
Are you interested in helping students continue their educations in graduate or professional school? Give now to the general scholarship fund! With your partnership, O∆K distributes more than $40,000 annually in scholarships to deserving students. Scholarship contributions for outright support of students are always welcome, and so is the creation of endowed scholarships.
Dr. Tara S. Singer Gift of Membership Grants Fund (Singer Grants)
In honor of the retirement of Dr. Tara S. Singer, president and CEO from 2013-2023, Omicron Delta Kappa has renamed the Opportunity Fund and Gift of Membership program. It is now the Dr. Tara S. Singer Gift of Membership Grants Fund, known as Singer Grants.
Do you want to make sure that deserving college students never have to decline their invitation to join Omicron Delta Kappa as a result of cost? Give to the Singer Grants Fund! Your gift will underwrite the National Lifetime Membership Fee for collegiate members who are Pell-eligible or who have other significant financial constraints. Through the provision of membership in O∆K, these collegiate members will have access to other programs, including scholarships, leadership development programs, and career resources.
Make a Planned Gift
If you would like to provide for Omicron Delta Kappa through your estate, consider making a planned gift. More information about planned giving opportunities may be found here. Individuals who have confirmed their intent to make a planned gift are members of O∆K’s Heritage Society.
