Our Work 

The Delta Delta Delta Foundation is the tax-exempt fund-raising partner of Delta Delta Delta Fraternity established by Convention Resolution in 1986. The Foundation is dedicated to serving the ever-changing needs of Delta Delta Delta Fraternity, and to fulfilling Tri Delta's Purpose to "assist its members in every possible way." As a non-profit organization, exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (c) (3), donations to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent the law allows.

Donations to the Foundation provide funding for numerous beneficial programs for collegians and alumnae. Alcohol.edu, Kristin's Story, scholarships, Crescent Fund grants, and numerous conference speakers are made possible by contributions from our members, alumnae and collegiate chapters, and friends of Tri Deltas.
