What amount of contribution is recognized with the DREF recognition created by the sorority?

The $1,000 contribution amount recognized by the DREF (Delta Research and Educational Foundation) is significant because it aligns with the foundation's goals of supporting educational and charitable initiatives that advance the sorority's mission. This specific level of contribution often reflects a commitment not just to the organization but also to the broader community-focused programs that the DREF supports.

Higher contribution levels, such as $2,000 or $2,500, may require additional commitments or be tied to different recognitions, while the $500 level does not meet the threshold that allows for DREF recognition. By setting the recognition at $1,000, the DREF highlights the importance of substantial contributions that can have a meaningful impact on educational and outreach programs, ensuring that the funding can effectively support grant making and research initiatives.
