Today, the Foundation has held true to its mission of “strengthening and empowering members through philanthropy and education.” Created by Thetas, for Thetas, the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation is dedicated to raising money through our members and friends to strengthen our fraternity via scholarships, educational and leadership opportunities and the support of sisters in times of need.

Ever After Gowns is a Minnesota based non-profit corporation dedicated to supporting Twin Cities-area young women by providing them with new and gently used formal gowns and accessories to be worn to their high school prom.

This organization was started by a group of Minneapolis Thetas who saw a need in our community, Ever After Gowns provides a “personal shopping" experience for women (pre-selected by their high school guidance counselors, based on financial need) and offers them the opportunity to select from a dazzling array of gowns. The gown they choose is theirs to keep, free of charge. We offer gowns in a variety of styles and sizes in order to meet a wide range of tastes and needs.

This organization has grown in the past few years, but the Minneapolis Alumnae Chapter continues to support Ever After Gowns each year donating and volunteering at the boutique.
