Delta Gamma - Ohio State University

W e urge your thoughtful consideration of this project. You are the only one who can place a value on your Delta Gamma membership – on the lifelong friendships you made, on the values and principles that were instilled in you, and on the many ways Delta Gamma enhanced your college years. Together with our active members, the volunteer leadership of the house corporation is committed to this major undertaking, which will provide our members the space they so desperately need. Gift Structure Because of the magnitude of our objectives, we are urging all alumnae to consider major gifts to the campaign. In order for each alumna to maximize her participation, gifts can be structured over a five-year pledge period. However, early gifts to the campaign are preferable to help reduce borrowing costs. Gifts in honor or in memory of other Delta Gammas, as well as family gifts, are welcome. Recognition in such cases will be given to both the donor and the honoree. Donor Recognition Each of us, simply by our presence, has contributed to the history of Epsilon. How appropriate then that each of our names be entered into its halls. Each donor who contributes $2,500 or more will be recognized on a prominently displayed plaque. All donors who contribute $500 or more to the campaign will be recognized in campaign publications, unless otherwise requested. Tax-Deductible Gifts Gifts of $5,000 or more are 100% tax deductible through the Delta Gamma Foundation, and designated for the Epsilon Chapter. The Internal Revenue Service allows exclusively educational space in the home to be funded with tax-deductible dollars from the Epsilon Chapter Housing Fund at the Delta Gamma Foundation. Non-Tax-Deductible Gifts Needed A large portion of the project is deemed non-educational, which means there is a need for contributions that are not tax deductible. This allows us to complete the project with minimal debt placed on the chapter. Therefore, donors are encouraged to consider directing a portion of their gift to the Epsilon House Corporation. We recognize that each of us benefited from the generosity, work, and sacrifice of those who went before us. We all enjoyed the sisterhood DG provided during our years at OSU. Now it is our turn to stretch our giving and support the financial challenge associated with this project. Our investment in the future of Epsilon ensures the success of our chapter and will promote a legacy upon which to build an even greater sisterhood. The commitment we make today cannot be underestimated—it will have a ripple effect on the lives of our Delta Gamma sisters for years to come.
