Why should I give to the Delta Tau Delta Educational Foundation?

Your generosity – along with that of our other alumni and supporters – makes possible the educational and leadership programs of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity. Not only is giving satisfying, it can be rewarding, allowing you to make a personal statement, shape the future, and leave a lasting legacy.

How do I know how my gift will be used?

To some extent you can designate how your gift will be used. You can apply it to an existing program… you can specify that it be applied to a larger, yet general goal…or you can state that a gift should be used to support our overall mission. All gifts, however, support our mission of helping fund the Fraternity’s educational and leadership programs.

How do I designate how I want my gift to be used?

You can specify your wishes with a letter of intent or by working with us to create a gift agreement. Or simply write in the memo portion of your check how you want your gift to be used.

How can I find out more about making a gift of stock or including the Delta Tau Delta Educational Foundation in my estate plan?

Simply use the “contact us” button above and we will be happy to talk to you about gift opportunities.

What is the difference between a designated gift and an unrestricted gift?

A designed gift is used for the special purpose that you specify. An unrestricted gift supports all of our programs and projects as well as our overall mission.

I’d like to make a gift but I don’t know if I can make a gift now…

Whatever your philanthropic goals, planning now is the right thing to do. But planning now does not mean you have to give now. Some of the most meaningful and rewarding gifts are those that can be planned today and completed later. Ask us for more information.

What is the best way to give to the Delta Tau Delta Educational Foundation?

There is no “best way.” Rather, there are many, many ways to give. You can write a check, use a credit card, transfer stock, bonds, retirement plan assets or real estate. You can make a gift in your will or designate us as the beneficiary of an IRA. If you’d like our help exploring gift opportunities, simply use the “CONTACT” button above to get in touch.

How does a gift in my will work?

A gift in your will—a charitable bequest —lets you make a gift now that is realized some time in the future. Simply designate in your will that the Delta Tau Delta Educational Foundation receives a specific amount or certain property at your death. If you already have a will, your attorney can easily amend it through a codicil. Since a bequest gift is not completed today, you have the opportunity to change the gift arrangement if your needs or goals change. For many of our alumni & friends, a charitable bequest is an ideal way to make a meaningful gift.
