In 1904, 11 women created an organization that would provide educational, philanthropic and leadership opportunities for women. The Alpha Gamma
Delta Foundation was created in 1962 ensuring that the Fraternity's mission would live on into Alpha Gamma Delta's second century, allowing women
of all ages to make positive differences on their campus and in their communities--leaving a legacy for generations of women to follow.
Since 1979, diabetes has been Alpha Gamma Delta's philanthropic focus. Through The Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation, large grants are made annually
to organizations and individuals for juvenile diabetes research, treatment and education. The Foundation also supports educational programming for
members and selected non-members, including personal development topics such as health, alcohol and drug abuse prevention, scholarship, eating
disorders and stress management. Many of these programs are run through The Leadership Institute.
Our chapter also supports local charities and causes by participating in annual events such as the Heart and Stroke Walk, and the Terry Fox Run. We
also participate in programs such as Operation Christmas Child. We support all philanthropic efforts of the Greek Community at the University of
Western Ontario.
