Fall 2025 Delta Upsilon Quarterly

Annual Giving Clubs

Delta Upsilon’s Annual Loyalty Fund is supported by donations of all sizes, and each year, donors are recognized with membership in various Annual Giving Clubs based on their giving level. The goal of these Giving Clubs is to recognize donors and encourage them to aspire for membership in higher Annual Giving Clubs in the future.

Today, the DUEF features 14 Annual Giving Clubs, and the President's Club is the Foundation's oldest and foremost Club. Starting in the 2025-2026 fiscal year (which runs July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026), the President's Club, and those clubs below it, will have a new giving threshold. The President's Club will also come with new and exciting membership benefits.

History of the President's Club

The President’s Club recognizes DU Educational Foundation donors who have achieved the President’s Club Annual Giving Club level (or above) for the past fiscal year. The increased educational programming support we are offering our chapters is largely driven by donors in our President’s Club.

Here are few fun facts that you may not know about the President’s Club:

  • The President's Club was established in the early 1970s by then-Fraternity President W.D. Watkins, North Carolina ’27.
  • The original annual giving threshold of the President's Club was $100. Over time, the annual giving threshold of the President's Club increased to $125 in 1992, then to $200 in 1998, then up to $500 in 2014.
  • Starting in this new fiscal year, the President's Club has been upgraded to recognize donors who give $1,000 or more each year to the DUEF.
  • Most importantly, gifts from our President's Club members make up over 97% of all dollars received by the DUEF last fiscal year.
  • Last fiscal year, a record 395 donors qualified for the President's Club or even higher giving levels.

Benefits of the President's Club

Along with an increased giving threshold, membership in the President’s Club will now come with additional benefits. These exclusive benefits began with a President's Club Reception held in the Spire Room of the Hyatt Regency Louisville during the Leadership Institute on July 25, 2025.

Other benefits of the President's Club include:

  • A special President's Club lapel pin when reaching major milestones in the Club each year
  • Invitations to special President’s Club Receptions
  • A unique DU cocktail glass for those attending the President's Club Reception at LI (offered in 2025)
  • Invitations to other virtual or in-person Delta Upsilon events
  • Recognition in the DU Quarterly magazine
  • Advanced communication and updates from DU leadership
  • More!
