Besides these events, DKGIEF directors created two convenient ways for members to donate at any time.

First, an area was marked on the convention registration form where members could choose to donate to the
Area of Greatest Need. Second, those who purchased a beautiful 2024 DKG Convention pin featuring the Capital
Wheel from Award Concepts also donated to DKGIEF, as Award Concepts is donating half of the proceeds from
the sale of each convention pin to the Foundation.
The Foundation appreciates individuals, chapters, and state organizations for their generous contributions.
To show appreciation, individual donors received DKGIEF Donor and DKGIEF Luminary convention ribbons to
wear. On the Foundation web page, members will find a complete list, organized by DKGIEF Donor Recognition
Level, of the individuals, chapters, and state organizations who contributed to DKGIEF.
