Why DKG?

As a member of DKG you are automatically a member of the appropriate geographic Forum.  Each Forum has projects, professional communiques and, when appropriate, information about proposed legislation with ramifications for educators and children’s welfare. DKG is also a non-governmental organization member of the United Nations with consultative status with the Economic Social community. DKG has a long relationship with UNICEF and the Committee Teaching About the UN. DKG has been recognized by the Institute of International Education for its partnership with Fulbright grants in supporting World Fellowship recipients – non-member women outside of the United States and Canada, who against financial and cultural odds came to universities in the U.S. and Canada to pursue advance degrees. Over all, DKG at the international, state organization and chapter levels give approximately $3,000,000 a year in scholarships, grants and project support. The Society is a philanthropic force on the international scene. As a member you are a part of that philanthropy. You impact education worldwide!
