10K Club
The Leadership Foundation Board of Trustees developed the 10K Club to better secure the next 100 years of Delta Sigma Pi. What does 10K Club membership entail, and how can you become a member?
Q. How can I become a member?
A. Individuals giving at least $10,000 in unrestricted gifts to the Leadership Foundation between July 1, 2003 and June 30, 2012, will earn membership in the 10K Club.
Q. What about my gifts to the 2007 Centennial Society?
A. Good news! All your gifts that count toward the 2007 Centennial Society also count toward becoming a member of the 10K Club.
Q. What if I'm married to someone who also wants to become a 10K Club member? Do our gifts count together or separately?
A. Just like the 2007 Centennial Society, your gifts are individual to each person - not as a couple.
Q. Why Should I become a member of the 10K Club?
A. How about knowing you’ve played a significant role in securing the next 100 years with Delta Sigma Pi’s professional programs, educational scholarships and leadership development that will make a difference in the lives of thousands of Deltasigs?
Q. What recognition comes with 10K Club membership?
A. In addition to receiving special recognition at national Fraternity events through 2012, you’ll also be honored in The DELTASIG magazine, receive a special pin and certificate exclusive to 10K Club members, and have your name engraved in perpetuity at the Central Office.

10K Club Centennial Founders
Q. What is a Centennial Founder of the 10K Club?
A. This is an EXCLUSIVE group of brothers who joined the 10K Club by June 30, 2007.
Q. What makes being a Centennial Founder more exclusive?
A. Only those that are Centennial Founders of the 10K Club had the opportunity to include a memento in the Bicentennial Time Capsule – dedicated at the Central Office on November 7, 2007 and to be opened at the Grand Chapter Congress in 2107. Centennial Founders will also receive a special edition lapel-pin, and have their names engraved in perpetuity at the Central Office in honor of this special group of which they are a member.
2007 Centennial Society
As part of Delta Sigma Pi's Centennial commemoration, the fraternity's Board of Directors and the Delta Sigma Pi Leadership Foundation Board of Trustees created the 2007 Centennial Society. Membership in the Society is limited to those individuals providing $2007 in unrestricted gifts between July 1, 2003 and June 30, 2008. The funds raised through membership in the 2007 Centennial Society will be used to support and secure future educational, leadership and scholarship opportunities for our Brotherhood.
2007 Centennial Society members will have their name permanently displayed at the Central Office with other Society members! Click here for Frequently Asked Questions about the 2007 Centennial Society.

Annual Donors
Each year supporters of the Leadership Foundation can impact the work of the Foundation and the academic and professional development of Delta Sigma Pi members in college. Through our grants for educational programs, Annual Donors can deepen a collegiate member's chapter experience. In addition, all annual gifts help the Foundation provide much needed financial assistance to collegiate and alumni brothers in the form of scholarships and graduate fellowships.
Annual donors to the Leadership Foundation receive a subscription to The DELTASIG magazine. Click here to donate online or read about all your giving options.

Matching Gifts
Many corporations have demonstrated their support for Delta Sigma Pi by matching, or even multiplying, their employees' gifts to the Leadership Foundation. Ask whether your employer participates in such a program. Certain restrictions apply to matching gifts; please consult your company's personnel office for further information.
Stock & Securities
A gift of stock or closely held securities can benefit you and the Foundation. Here's how:
- Income tax deduction for the donor for the charitable contribution
- No capital gains tax on the appreciation in value
- The Foundation receives the proceeds of the redeemed stock or securities immediately.
Endowments
A gift establishing an endowment demonstrates your farsighted commitment to the Foundation and Fraternity. An endowment is a fund that is maintained in perpetuity. A portion of the annual investment return is used for the purposes specified by you, the donor. The rest of the investment yield is returned to principal to provide long term growth.
Such endowments, which typically bear the name of the donor or donors, reflect your interests and serve as an enduring testament to your generosity. Current Leadership Foundation endowments fund the Collegian of the Year Program as well as many academic scholarships. Click here to learn more about our current endowment funds.
Living Legacy Society
Members of the Living Legacy Society are brothers who have chosen to make planned gift provisions to benefit the Foundation and the Fraternity, most often through a will, or by naming the Leadership Foundation as beneficiary on a life insurance policy.
Members of the Living Legacy Society have committed to future gifts of at least $10,000 to the Leadership Foundation in the form of specific, residuary and contingent bequests. Such bequests have the following benefits:
- Distribute your assets according to your wishes
- Save on estate taxes
- Leave a legacy without giving up assets now
Grand President's Circle
The Grand President's Circle is open to those collegiate brothers attending a provincial or national event. Members pledge to donate at least $10 each year while in school and $50 or more each year after graduation to the Leadership Foundation. In addition, members pledge to remain active in the Fraternity throughout their lives.

The Rewards of Giving
However you choose to support the Leadership Foundation, you will be embarking on a partnership with America's Foremost Business Fraternity. Your gift can make the difference in a promising student's ability to realize his or her dream of a quality business education and will support the professional development of members through national events and educational programs.
There are almost as many ways of giving as there are programs, projects and priorities of the Leadership Foundation that need your support. For more information, call us at (513) 523-1907, and we will work with you to establish your legacy to the Fraternity and the Foundation.
