The Delta Research and Educational Foundation (DREF) is the premier national and global research and educational organization supporting the socio-economic empowerment of African-American women and their families.

DREF was established by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation. A major component and program of DREF, The Center for Research for African  American Women serves as a comprehensive database and resource on Africa-American Women and honors their roles and contributions in building the United States.

We envision a society that values the contributions of women, prepares our children for productive and contributing lives and ensures that women and their families are economically self-sufficient.

Chambers Family Fund seeks opportunities to invest in organizations working within our priority areas:

The Fund for Women in Asia is determined to help bring about social change in how women and girls are valued in their communities.

We will do that by strengthening local women's groups, so they can more effectively speak for themselves. We aim to partner with local groups, to help leverage their resources effectively, bringing not only financial resources but also skills, such as management, marketing and fundraising.

NCGives is an emerging, statewide initiative which focuses on the generosity of women, communities of color and youth by celebrating, connecting, inspiring and growing these traditions of giving.

Consistent with the heritage and values of the company, the grant-making programs of Levi Strauss & Co. and the Levi Strauss Foundation seek to alleviate poverty on behalf of women and youth in communities around the world where our employees and our contractors' employees live and work.

For over 50 years the foundation’s grantmaking has supported innovative and risk-taking social change initiatives. Levi Strauss & Co.'s history of philanthropy dates back to the earliest days of the company – more than 150 years.

The Women's Rights Fund enables the Fund for Global Human Rights to highlight the work of more than eighty women’s rights grantees; underscore the connection between legal, economic and social discrimination against women throughout the world; and attract new financial resources to the Fund—enabling us to expand our grant-making on the range of critical human rights issues affecting women’s everyday lives.

Our vision is a Central America in which young women are guaranteed
their right to physical and emotional integrity, to economic justice
and to participate as leaders in making decisions that will affect
their lives and their communities.

By bringing groups of young women from diverse communities and
cultures throughout Central America together, the Fund contributes to
the construction of a regional movement that seeks new and creative
solutions to problems young women face in their communities.
