DKGIEF

2020–2023 DKGIEF Impact

Report

Mission: “The DKG International Educators Foundation supports effective educational projects, the
educational and charitable activities of the Society, and professional growth of educators worldwide.”

Vision: “Giving to Educate the World”

In 2020, the DKG Supporting Corporation and the Educational Foundation merged, creating the DKG
International Educators Foundation (DKGIEF). DKGIEF enhances the Society’s educational and charitable
giving and gives donors one place to support DKG’s philanthropic work. The merger simplified the
recording, accounting, and reporting of the Society’s financial operations while maintaining transparency
in the flow of contributions into the Foundation and distributions to educators worldwide.
The inaugural DKGIEF Impact Report (July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2023) provides donors and members
with a compilation of the Foundation’s work and the stories of recipients during its fledgling years of
operation. The report results from collaboration between DKGIEF, Society committees, and Headquarters
staff.
The DKGIEF Strategic Plan guided the development of the 2023 Impact Report. The report includes
recipient stories, which increase the Foundation’s visibility and awareness. The numbers shared for each
managed fund present the systems for transparent, responsible, and efficient financial stewardship. The
donor recognition page allows the Foundation to recognize members, businesses, and other community
members who supported DKGIEF with donations. Quotes from these donors help to educate and engage
other potential donors.
Nine DKGIEF-managed funds are supported by donations, royalties, grants, and bequests that continue
the work of the Foundation. The Foundation’s financial data present total revenue and expenses from
2020–2023, including during COVID.
