National Philanthropies

Below you will find the foundations that Delta Zeta is partnered with and nationally supports:

Gallaudet University, Washington, D.C. The world's only university that has undergraduate programs accessible to hearing-impaired students.

The House Ear Institute, Los Angeles, California A research site for hearing disorders and the prevention of hearing loss, and the adjacent clinic treats a variety of hearing disorders.

Sound Beginnings, Logan, Utah This program donates kits which help to screen newborn babies for hearing loss. They stress the importance of screening at birth instead of waiting until the problem is noticed. By the time most babies are identified with hearing loss (which is age 3), many opportunities are lost. Identification at an early age will help the child's development.

The Painted Turtle Camp, Lake Hughes, California The Painted Turtle is a medical specialty camp for children and their families with chronic and life-threatening illnesses. It provides a genuine camp experience for seriously ill children. The campers and their families attend free of charge.
