The Foundation is eagerly anticipating our Sesquicentennial Celebration in June! As we prepare to come together in celebration of sisterhood, we are excited to introduce a special way for you to be part of Delta Gamma’s Anchoring the Future campaign!

We’re calling on you to be one of the very first Foundation’s Cream Rose Gardeners and encourage giving through our Inaugural Cream Rose Tribute Giving opportunity! Because of your affinity and love for the Delta Gamma Foundation, we know you will help our garden grow!

In this toolkit, you’ll find information about how you can help support these efforts either digitally, in person when we gather in Memphis or both!

The spring showers will start soon, and our garden will begin growing — so get ready to roll up your sleeves and help us plant seeds of generosity! Please reach out to Foundation communications at fdncomms@deltagamma.org if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you for being a Cream Rose Tribute Giving Gardener and for helping the Delta Gamma Foundation and our sisterhood flourish.

March & April: Spring Showers!

• Start showering social media with your plans to honor a sister through this tribute giving. Share with sisters, friends or family and encourage them to participate by making a gift to the Foundation!
• Follow the Foundation on Facebook and Instagram.
• Use the sample posts and graphics to share why you’re helping our garden grow.

May: Plant Your Seeds! 

• Plant seeds of generosity among your sisters and encourage them to honor another Delta Gamma.
• Change your social media profile pictures by downloading the images available.
• Post a photo with a sister that you honored as a Cream Rose Tribute Giving Honoree and tell how they “rose to the occasion” in your life!

June: Watch our Garden Grow!

• Help us reach our goal by encouraging your sisters, family and friends to support the Delta Gamma Foundation.
• Post a message about why you support the Foundation or use the sample posts and graphics. Be sure to include a link to the Cream Rose Tribute Giving Page and tag the Foundation!

• Send a text or email to a few sisters encouraging them to make a gift.

Are you joining us in Memphis/Oxford?

• Bring a sister to the table and have her make a gift, too!
• Take a picture with your digital rose or with our photo op and post it using hashtag #DGCreamRoseGiving #RoseToTheOccasion.

• Delta Gamma is rooted in doing good and focused on a bright future for another 150 years.
• The best way to help ourselves is to help each other.
• Your gift to the Foundation ensures that Delta Gamma will flourish in the future.
• I rose to the occasion and am supporting Anchoring the Future: The Campaign for Delta Gamma. I hope you will join me!
• When you make a gift to the Foundation, you ensure the future of our sisterhood.
• Cream Rose Tribute Gifts mean members are supported in their educational pursuits, are given opportunities to learn and grow through mentorship and leadership training, and people living with blindness or other vision loss gain access to the tools they need to live full, unrestricted lives.
• Last year, the Foundation granted over 500 scholarships, fellowships and Crisis Grants, supported innovative and transformational Fraternity programming, and granted 63 Service for Sight grants to organizations advocating for people in the blind and visually impaired community.
• See all the good your gifts do in the Foundation’s Annual Impact Report. Join me in ensuring our collective impact remains strong!
