Theta Delta Chi’s Founders’ Days of Giving 2026
Bring Honor to Your Charge!
Founders’ Day of Giving is the Theta Delta Chi Educational Foundation’s biggest fundraising event of the year and the perfect way to celebrate Founders’ Day. Please join us for a friendly Charge competition as we raise money to help fund scholarships and programming for our members and students at our host institutions. Click Donate to select your Charge and visit your Charge Team page. From there you can both make a donation and sign-up to spread the word to your Charge Brothers. We track participation across all Charges, and every participant gets a sticker. Your donations count towards calculations for the FDG Cup, and the historical Loyalty Cups presented at Convention.
HONOR THE PAST AND BUILD THE FUTURE
Help Us Reach Our $101,000 Goal This Founders’ Day of Giving
Theta Delta Chi was founded on the belief that enduring friendship and personal growth are connected, which we honor every Founders’ Day. The Educational Foundation carries that legacy forward by funding scholarships, leadership programs, and grants that give current undergraduates the same opportunities for intellectual, moral, and social growth. These grants help fund philanthropic efforts, educational programming, and leadership development opportunities. The Preamble Institute, Theta Delta Chi’s signature leadership retreat, is largely funded by grants from the foundation. The Institute’s lasting impact and increased participation stem from grants that are only possible because of contributions to the Voluntary Graduate Dues program from loyal alumni like you. Our grants are not just impacting undergraduates during their time in school, it’s also molding their future. Noah McRoberts, Upsilon Deuteron ’25, applied for a grant to start the podcast Keeping Up with the Theta Delts. The skills Noah acquired allowed him to manage a podcast studio soon after graduating.
This year, we have set an ambitious goal of raising $101,000 to help build the future for undergraduates like Noah. We encourage you to donate to your Charge team and encourage your brothers to do the same. While you’re helping us reach our goal of $101,000, you can attend one of our “101” Zoom sessions on a variety of topics throughout October, culminating in our Founders’ day Zoom celebration on October, 31st.
