Philanthropy

In 2023, we selected Four Oaks as our Local Impact Organization and have continued that relationship since. Four Oaks' mission statement is "Assuring children become successful adults." Four Oaks is the sole provider for foster care parent recruitment, retention, and training in the state of Iowa. They offer a variety of services to children and families to help them be successful. Four Oaks uses the TotalChild approach - where they serve children and the families in an all-encompassing way, rather than addressing one problem at a time. Along with foster care, they also provide affordable housing, psychiatric, preventative, and community-based services to their families.

The Kindly Hearts Initiative
The Kindly Hearts Initiative serves as the umbrella to our national philanthropic focus of supporting children and teens experiencing foster care or homelessness. Alpha Xi Deltas across the country support two Key Impact Organizations, FosterClub and StandUp for Kids, making a national and regional difference under the umbrella of our focus.
