SPECIAL FUNDS
SPECIAL PROJECTS FUNDS empower chapters
Special Projects Funds provide a unique opportunity for alumni to donate funds that can immediately benefit members of their chapter. Every chapter in TKE Nation has a Special Projects Fund. Monies contributed to these funds can be used to support members’ attendance at TKE-sponsored educational programs, such as Regional Leadership Conference registration, or can assist with housing projects. Special Projects Funds do not have a minimum balance to attain before the dollars can be used. Special Projects Funds are maintained by the Foundation and are included in the endowment investment portfolio. Funds are managed by professional money managers and oversight is provided by the Foundation Board of Directors Investment Committee. An annual administrative fee is charged for each fund. For more information on how to access Special Projects Funds, call the Foundation at 317-872-6533 or visit www.tke.org/specialprojects.
“Attending a Regional Leadership Conference is one of the best experiences that a brother of Tau Kappa Epsilon can have. Being able to travel and learn, not only with members of the chapter, but with members from chapters around our region, is something every Teke should do. Last year, I was one of four members of my chapter to attend the RLC in Baltimore. This year, with the help of the Special Projects Fund, we were able to send 17 Fraters and prospective members. With so many in attendance, the morale of the chapter has never been higher and prospective members were extremely eager to join Tau Kappa Epsilon. If it were not for the help of the Special Projects Fund, we would not be experiencing some of our success and chapter growth, and we hope to continue this in the future.” —Brian Farkas, Pylortes Rho-Chi Chapter Lebanon Valley College
