Theta Foundation
Created by Thetas for Thetas in 1960, Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable and educational tax-exempt organization. Theta Foundation’s mission is to secure and manage resources for the educational, leadership, and philanthropic programs of the Fraternity and for the academic, professional, and service pursuits of its members. Awarding more than $1.1 million annually, Theta Foundation stands as pillar of support for Thetas to help them reach their fullest potential and make a difference in the world.
After more than 60 years, Theta Foundation remains committed to partnering with Theta women and chapters to support the Fraternity’s ideals of highest scholarship, widest influence for good, and love. Learn more about Theta Foundation.
Court Appointed Special Advocates
Zeta Theta is lucky to have a local CASA chapter here in San Luis Obispo, and to be able to see our funds make a direct impact on our community. Court Appointed Special Advocates is a national, nonprofit organization that recruits and trains volunteers (court-appointed advocates) to serve as a voice for neglected and abused children who are navigating the court system. In SLO County, there are 500-600 children in the foster care system, and around 180 active CASAs. It costs roughly $3000 to train one CASA, so every dollar Theta raises makes a difference.
