Mental Health and Well-Being
As Kappas, we're always looking for opportunities to dream boldly and live fully as we give back and inspire positive change.
In the pursuit of that mission, mental health and well-being is our international philanthropic focus. Join us as we commit to becoming powerful advocates in the mental health and well-being space and aim to live fully in the service of others.
Kappa partners with the following organizations to carry out this impactful work:
National Alliance on Mental Illness
Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation
The Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation helps Kappas pursue life’s opportunities by funding impactful programs, including financial assistance grants, member education, preserving our history and heritage, and scholarships. Learn how the Kappa Foundation helps Kappas thrive.
Kappa also partners with Talkspace, an online platform that makes it convenient to access mental health resources and paves the way for accessible mental health care. Alumnae receive a discount on this service thanks to a grant through the Kappa Foundation.
Akron Philanthropy
Kappa Kappa Gamma’s national philanthropy focuses on mental health and wellness. The Akron Alumnae Association is proud to have been able to support the Campus Cupboard locally the last few years. The Campus Cupboard helps provide basic necessities to students on campus, supporting an important foundation of mental wellbeing. When students have access to essentials, they are better able to focus, succeed, and thrive. This organization also holds a special Kappa connection. The Campus Cupboard was founded by our very own Catherine Chudakoff Blankenship as part of her master’s project, making this partnership especially meaningful to our sisterhood.
