The funds could not be raised without the generosity of the Fraternity's members and friends. Unrestricted annual gifts allow the Foundation's Board of Trustees to apply funds to the areas of greatest need. Unrestricted gifts typically support general undergraduate and graduate scholarships, continuing education grants, Sisters Income Supplement grants, philanthropic grants for diabetes related programs, projects and camperships, and Fraternity leadership and educational programming. All annual gifts to the Foundation are recognized in the summer issue of the Quarterly . The Society continues to grow each year due to the generosity of members, family, friends, collegiate and alumnae chapters and clubs.
Membership is renewable annually.
Individual members of the Jewel Society enjoy an especially close relationship with the Foundation and each other. They receive a gift when they first become a member, and an update on that gift each year they renew their membership. Collegiate Chapter Jewel Society members receive a large plaque, recognition at Convention or TLC and special listing in the Foundation's annual report in the summer Quarterly issue. Alumnae Chapter and Club Jewel Society members receive a lovely photo album, in addition to recognition at Convention or TLC and special listing in the Foundation's annual report in the summer Quarterly issue. The Algadel Society is a new society recognizing contributions from collegiate members in their final year of college.
