Basic Steps To A Shelter Renovation

What does it take to have a successful renovation at your chapter?  It may seem mysterious and at times impossible.  However, there is a logical approach to this process that does not require a benefactor, a fire to collect on insurance, or someone hitting the lottery.  While every renovation, acquisition, or new construction plan is different they each follow a similar process.  Start with this checklist and you are on your way.

Pitfalls to avoid. Good information as you consider your project.

How to get started: One Option - Delta Tau Delta Chapter Educational Fund Program

The Delta Tau Delta Educational Foundation in consultation with the Fraternity and our many house corporations has developed the Chapter Endowment Fund Program within the Foundation.

This program was started for potential donors who want to make a significant gift to the educational programs of your chapter but were reluctant to do so because the gift was not deductible for Federal income tax purposes. The Chapter Endowment Fund Program may provide the solution to this dilemma.

Your chapter can now establish its own Chapter Endowment Fund with the Delta Tau Delta Educational Foundation. All gifts to the Chapter Endowment Fund will be held by the Foundation as restricted gifts for the benefit of your chapter for the following educational purposes:

• Scholarship grants to members of your chapter
• Educational grants to cover portions of the travel and accommodation expenses of members of your chapter attending division leadership conferences, the international convention and the Delt Leadership Academy
• Grants for educational resources in your Shelter, such as desks, bookcases, books, computers and software in the educational areas and for the construction, renovation and equipment of educational areas of your chapter home
• Loans to your chapter for housing which are to bear interest at the prevailing rates charged by commercial lenders or similar investments at the time the loans are made.
