Loyalty and Centennial Fund

The Loyalty and Centennial Development funds are the endowment funds of the Fraternity. These funds provide mortgage loans to house corporations of chapters acquiring, building or renovating their shelters. The majority of the Fraternity's shelters have received financing assistance at one time or another during their existence from these funds. Assets of these funds currently total approximately $4.9 million. At any given time during the year these funds will be providing mortgage loan financing to 30 of our shelters.

Annual Delt Fund

As a result of the expressed desire of many alumni to participate in the Fraternity's growth and progress, the Alumni Contribution Program was established in 1967. Thousands of alumni, through their annual contributions, have demonstrated their continued interest in the Fraternity, and through their gifts have helped the Fraternity provide additional new programs each year which would not have otherwise been possible.

Delta Tau Delta Educational Foundation

Incorporated in 1981 and formally announced at the 1982 Karnea, the Delta Tau Delta Educational Foundation has as its mission to support the educational and leadership development programs of the Fraternity. It is the Delt Foundation’s goal through the support of alumni contributions to assemble the best minds in leadership development, substance abuse prevention, and values education training to provide the best programming possible at the college level.

Nearly six thousand alumni gave last year through major gifts, estate planning, and the Annual DeltFund. Gifts are fully deductible for income and estate tax purposes. Grants from the Foundation support over 26% of the Fraternity’s operations ($473,130 in 2003-2004).

Educational Foundation Programs

• Annual Leadership Academies
• Delts Talking About Alcohol (DTAA)
• Values Education Training
• The educational portion of the Chapter Consultant Program (46%)

Individual Chapter Funds may also be established by alumni to benefit their own chapter.

The Delt Foundation is in the final stages of "The Building on Excellence" campaign. This 7.5 million dollar campaign of philanthropic support will help lead Delta Tau Delta into the 21st centruy. Gifts to the campaign by alumni and friends have come in many forms; including cash, appreciated securities and a variety of other planned gifts.

The Educational Foundation is served by a twenty-five member Board of Directors and four full-time staff. For more information on programs supported by the Foundation or how to make major or planned gift contact:
