Building for Financial Stability

We are pleased to inform you all that the Washington Chapter of ADPhi is up and running. The undergrads have returned to the Temple. While the building is complete, our work is not yet finished.

There is now a pressing need for additional financial support from alumni and supporters.  This resulted first from the costs to cover expenses that didn’t make it into the final construction/permanent loan. This includes amounts owed through bridge loans from Alumni and the Foundation, all totaling $300k. Additionally, there is a basic need to build a reserve account to pay for ongoing operational issues and emergencies.

To establish financial stability for the Chapter, we are shifting to an annual fund-raising model. Our goal for year one is $100,000. 

You can make one-time or reoccurring donations as you see fit.  You may use a credit card or a direct checks.  The Website is secure, and funds are processed through OmegaFi, which processes all bookkeeping for the Chapter. Funds received may be tax deferred or otherwise. Non-tax deferred contributions are a priority now. This is a beginning to address bridge loans, build a reserve fund, and handle operational needs.

We understand that there can be the potential for donor fatigue especially after our Capital Campaign. Please remember that the commitment to our Brotherhood supersedes any reluctance.  We hope that you will see the need and help foster the long-time survival and traditions of our great Chapter.

Xaipe Alpha Delta Phi, and to all of you,

Michael Derr, Alumni President
