Crisis Grants

As an effort to assist members in their times of trouble, Delta Gamma Foundation Crisis Grants (formerly Anchor Grants) were established in 1996. Crisis Grants assist Delta Gamma sisters who find themselves in extreme financial need created by job loss, health crisis, natural disaster, or other unexpected life circumstances. Crisis Grants are awarded throughout the year, as funds are available.
