Delta Gammas give more than 96,000 hours a year in volunteer service in a variety of ways to their communities. However, the work of the Foundation extends beyond service. The Foundation is governed by the Delta Gamma Foundation Constitution and Articles of Incorporation, the Convention and the Foundation Board of Trustees. The work of the Foundation is financed by gifts from collegiate chapters, alumnae groups, individual members and their friends/relatives, other foundations, Foundation fund raising, investment income and Fraternity allocations authorized by the Board of Trustees.

For men and women for whom blindness is a fact, the mission has been to impact the quality of their lives in a myriad of positive ways.
