Delta Nu Donation Opportunities

Through Tau Kappa Epsilon and Northwest Missouri State University, there are many donation opportunities for Fraters to ‘give back’, both to the college experience and the TKE experience. In all cases, these donations are tax-deductible and the donations can do directly to Delta Nu, to a Delta Nu undergraduate member or to a future Northwest student.

Scholarships through the TKE Educational Foundation

For a list of what the TKE Educational Foundation supports, visit: http://www.tke.org/about/tef/what_we_support.html

Delta-Nu Special Projects

The Special Projects fund can be used for special purposes, such as educational-related or leadership-based programs, such as Conclave or a Regional Leadership Conference, or even for housing improvements. This account is primarily funded by Delta-Nu alumni through direct donations or through Life Loyal Teke enrollments.

How to donate to scholarships through the TKE Educational Foundation

How to Donate: Donations can be made by sending checks or credit cards to the TKE Educational Foundation with a note that says "Delta-Nu Special Projects". Donations can also be made by visiting www.tke.org and clicking on the "Donate" link at the top.

Is your donation tax deductible? Yes, donations made through the TEF is tax deductible, and TKE follows up with the donor by sending a tax statement at the beginning of the year outlining what donations can be counted.

Donating to TKE through the Life Loyal Teke program

When you become a Life Loyal Teke, your membership donation goes towards these two funds.

If you join after you’ve been out of school for 5 years, your donation is $495 (or $49/month for 12 months). From this $495, $200 goes right back to the chapter ($100 to the scholarship account and $100 to the special projects account), $100 goes into a communications reserve account (to ensure the member receives lifetime communication after becoming a Life Loyal Teke (THE TEKE magazine, etc...), and $195 goes to pay for the membership processing.

If you join as a collegiate member, or graduated less than 5 years ago, the total is $395, the distribution of the donation is the same, except the donation portion becomes $100 instead of $200 ($50 to the scholarship account and $50 to the special projects account).

Scholarships through the Northwest Foundation

Any donation of at least $50/individual or $85/couple automatically includes membership in the Northwest Alumni Association for one year.

TKE House Capital Improvements Fund

The “TKE House Capital Improvement Fund” provides support only for “Capital Improvements” to the fraternity house. Contributions to the “TKE House Capital Improvement Fund” will be recognized on the “The Richard W. Wiles (ΔN 365) Teke for Life Alumni Donor Wall” in the form of Bricks placed on the wall, commemorating Fraters' contribution to the future of Delta Nu's physical presence at Northwest Missouri State University.

To view the current roster of Fraters with bricks on the Donors Wall, please click HERE.

Plans for this fund, once properly funded, include both short (1-3 yrs.) and long term (5-10 yrs.) permanent improvements to the house and grounds. The Board of Advisors is currently compiling a list of ideas, big and small to add to our house and improve its functionality, durability and overall fraternity experience for our members and alumni.

Funds will NOT be used for ongoing operating expenses, utilities, mortgage payments, etc. Per the Board of Alumni Advisors, those expenses rest solely on the shoulders of the active chapter through collection of rent and parlor fees from the chapter members.

Fund Manager: Steve Moss, ΔN 927, semoss@mchsi.com
