Thanks to the support of our donors, the Foundation was able to provide 218 grants totaling $2.9 million
to the International Fraternity, chapters, associations and individuals during the 2016-17 fiscal year.
We understand that each gift, no matter the size, is given careful thought and consideration, so we are prudent
with the donations we receive. Last fiscal year, an investment of $0.11 in total fundraising expenses resulted in

13BUILDING SAFE AND AFFORDABLE
CHAPTER HOUSING
Last fiscal year was another exciting one for chapters with housing projects! Ground-breaking ceremonies,
house dedications and campaign launches were celebrated and many houses received much-needed
renovations and technology upgrades. Currently, 22 chapters have building funds with the Foundation.
Last fiscal year, $2.4 million was administered for the educational portion of new or renovated chapter
houses on 12 campuses. Additionally, over $1.93 million was raised, and will be saved for future grants for
the educational portion of chapter housing projects. Also, $25,381 was granted to four chapters and
associations for in-house computer and technology upgrades. Below is a snapshot of the fiscal year for
housing investments.
