You Can Make A Difference!
“If you’ve already contributed to the PhiNow Campaign to renovate the ‘House That Brotherhood Built,’ thank you for your support,” said Rick Buresh, Campaign Chair. “You’re early support has put us on the launchpad for an exciting future. If you haven’t contributed to date, having a modern living facility that is competitive with university and off campus housing is paramount to our long term viability at NDSU. Consider a gift now as payback for a great fraternity experience at college, or as an investment in the lives of future young men.”
Make A Gift 3 Different Ways!
1. Make a 5-year pledge
2. Make a one-time gift of cash
3. Make a non-cash gift such as appreciated securities, commodities or livestock
“The bottom-line is that giving should be easy,” said Jason, Phi Chapter Treasurer. “It’s important that everyone benefits – the chapter and alumni – if a campaign gift is made.”
Working with the Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation, Phi Chapter can extend a tax deductible benefit to donors as well as matching gift opportunities. However, a gift made directly to the chapter can be used immediately to offset expenses and limit banking costs down the line. IRS regulations limit the availability of tax deductible funds on an annual basis. Please consult your financial advisor to discuss the giving option most appropriate for you. For questions and instructions, please contact: Jennifer Noble, Campaign Coordinator at 217-840-9684 or jen@ivypartners.com.
