Questions and Answers

Below you will find answers to many common questions about Phi Gamma Delta 2023 Giving Day.

What is the Phi Gamma Delta Giving Day?

This is Phi Gamma Delta's 2023 Day of Giving. This 24-hour event was created to engage undergraduate members, graduate brothers, parents and friends of the Fraternity and encourage them to make a gift to the Fraternity or Educational Foundations.

 

The event starts on Tuesday, May 2, at 12:00 am ET and ends at 11:59 pm PT. During the giving period, there will be different matches, challenges and leaderboards to give you the opportunity to make your donation go even further. Show your support and help get more brothers involved to increase your chapter's chance to win prizes throughout the event. 

 

2023 presents a milestone for the Fraternity as we celebrate 175 years of history, brotherhood, and glory. Help us make this year's Giving Day our best one yet!

What areas can I support when making a gift on Giving Day?

You will have the option to make your donation go to the Educational Foundation, Foundation of Canada or to the Fraternity.

 

Gifts that are made to the Educational Foundations will support the educational and charitable purposes of Phi Gamma Delta, its undergraduate brothers and its chapters/colonies. This includes the Leadership Institute, alcohol programming, academic scholarships, mental health programming, sexual assault prevention training, etc.

 

Gifts made to the Fraternity can be used to support the staff, maintenance of Headquarters, updates and hosting our website and cover other costs not included in the grant from the Foundation.

 

Is My Gift Tax-Deductible?

The Phi Gamma Delta Educational Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization. If you make your donation to the Educational Foundation, your gift will be tax-deductible. Gifts made to the Fraternity are not tax-deductible.

What Is My Gift Used for?

Gifts that are made to the Fraternity will be going towards the Phi Gamma Delta magazine, headquarters maintenance and staffing, Fraternity events and other items not covered by the grant from the Foundation. Gifts made to the Foundation will help fund things like the Leadership Institute, Alcohol programming, Academic Scholarships, Mental Health programming, Sexual Assault Prevention and Hazing Prevention.

Will I Receive a Receipt?

You will receive an email confirmation receipt almost immediately after making your gift. If you need a physical receipt for any reason you can request one after the event.

Can I Make My Gift Recurring?
