Reporting Philanthropy and Service through Chapter Inc.

For many Delta Zetas, the line in our creed which states “To those whom my life may touch in slight measure, May I give graciously of what is mine,” holds special meaning. Through philanthropy and community service, Delta Zetas learn a sense of responsibility for self and others and have long demonstrated this sense of community purpose by volunteering their time within their local campus and communities and participating in philanthropic endeavors. Every year each college chapter conducts a philanthropic event benefitting a nationally sponsored Delta Zeta philanthropy in addition to the individual service hours each member completes. After the chapter and individual members complete these activities, they should be reported through Chapter Inc.

 

  

Chapter Philanthropic Event

 

To report a chapter Philanthropy event, you will need, at minimum, the following information:

• Type of Event
• Date of Event
• Service Hours
• Total Dollars Raised
• Total Dollars Given
• Dollar Value of Gifts in Kind

 

When you are ready to begin your report, you can create one on demand in Chapter Inc by clicking Philanthropy > Actions > Notify of Philanthropic event (see picture below).

 

 

On step three, you will be asked to provide as much information as possible about your philanthropy event. Although you can save and return to your form at any time before validation, it is very helpful to prepare this information ahead of time. A screenshot of the information included in your philanthropy report is pictured below.

 

  

 

Individual Service Hours

 

Individual service hours should only be reported for hours that are done by members outside of organized chapter philanthropy events.

 

There are four steps to the process.

1. Select the members you are adding service hours for by selecting the “service hours” radio button next to their name.
2. Enter the date the service took place and the number of hours per member.
3. Confirm your changes. If you have made any mistakes use the "previous" option at the bottom of the screen to return to the prior page.
4. View and print your receipt that shows your requested changes have been submitted.
