Giles III PC '00 Tucker Hughes PC '00 NOT FOR COL- LEGE DAYS Texas Fiji Capital Campaign by the Numbers Join Today! W e have been fascinated with numbers during this campaign. Some numbers you have seen before, such as our $5.5 million campaign goal and the more than $5.34 million we've raised to date. Others are interesting facts recently learned. Your campaign chairmen thought they would share some of these fun figures of the campaign. 1,987: Active Texas Fiji alumni that we have a cur‑ rent mailing address for. 681: The number of generous alumni, undergradu‑ ates, parents, and friends who have donated to our campaign. They comprise 586 graduates, 40 under‑ graduates, 38 parents, and 17 friends. Not to mention the undergraduate chapter as a whole pledged $100,000 of their own money. $5,341,762: The amount donors have given to the campaign. Remem‑ ber, pledges of $2,500 and above will receive recognition on a donor plaque in the new addition. Also, additional pledges over $25,000 can now be 100% tax deductible through the Phi Gamma Delta Foundation. All other pledges to the Purple Owl House Corporation, though not tax deductible, are greatly needed to minimize the debt on this project. If you haven't given, the time is now. If you have, consider an additional pledge and in‑ crease your overall giving. $3,425,703: The amount of pledges already paid. To help with cash flow for construction, a lot of donors paid their pledge early or front‑loaded their pledge to help even more. If you are one of these donors, we sincerely thank you! If you are not, consider completing your pledge prior to December 31, 2014. $7,844: The average gift size to this campaign. Many donors have felt this is a very worthwhile campaign, much needed for Texas Fiji. Many know the $2,500 threshold to get onto the donor plaque but feel their experience was worth far more than that. $41.67: Dollars per month for five years (a total of $2,500) to have your name on a prominent, permanently displayed plaque in the chapter house, in recognition of your leadership gift to this campaign. Pledges may be spread over a five‑year period to help maximize your support. While cash in hand is very important, so is cash flow over the next several years. Pledges are just as important in their own way. 98%: The percentage of all pledge classes with a living member that have at least one donor. 1954, 1955, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1983, 1989, 1992, 1994: The pledge classes with the highest giv‑ ing percentages. The pledge class of 1954 leads the way with more than 81% of members giving to the cam‑ paign. Congratulations! Help your class increase its giving participation. A gift at any level will make an impact! Below are the top three classes in each decade with the highest participation thus far.
