Winter 2026 Delta Upsilon Quarterly

Unique Ways to Give Drive Record pace for FY26

While the DU Educational Foundation continues to receive strong support through online and mail contributions, an increasing number of donors are choosing alternative giving methods. Gifts from Donor Advised Funds, employer matching programs, or even gifts of stock through investment accounts/IRAs have empowered our donors to build better men in substantial ways. Advances in technology have made these unique ways to give not only popular, but easy, secure and convenient. The DUEF giving results through March 15, 2026, are the highest for any fiscal year, and the chart to the right highlights the ways our donors are investing in the DU leaders of today.

“I am happy to support the DU Educational Foundation with a gift from my IRA. Not only does my gift provide scholarships for young DUs, but it also helps me meet my required minimum distribution from my IRA. It’s a win-win for me and our great Fraternity!”
