I know if someone came up to you today and said I know how you can double your dollars you would be very suspect of the offer.  But what if I told you it is true here at the Triangle Education Foundation?

From now until June 30, 2010 all new donations to the Triangle Education Foundation will be matched dollar for dollar by a small group of generous alumni.  These alumni have set up a Challenge Grant fund and have seeded the fund with $40,000 to encourage alumni to consider a gift to the Foundation.

With your support today we can generate $80,000 in new support to the Foundation, support that is needed during this phenomenal time of growth in the Fraternity.  Here is how it works:

You donate $500
Your Company matches $500 (most companies do, just check with your HR department)
Your total gift is $1,000
The Challenge Grant Fund matches $1,000

TOTAL IMPACT ON THE FOUNDATION:  $2,000!!!!

Triangle’s chapters are getting larger and new colonies are joining the rolls each year.  With this tremendous success in the Fraternity it also creates new demands on the Foundation for more scholarships, educational programming and more members to bring to the various leadership development programs we offer.

Growth is good, but we need your help to sustain it.  Please consider doubling your gift today by going to the Foundation’s online donation SITE.   Or call the Foundation’s staff at (317) 837-9641.  They would be happy to take your information over the phone or send you a donation envelope.

Don’t pass up this opportunity to get a deal that IS too good to pass up! 

The law allows you to use funds from your IRA to make a lifetime charitable gift, tax free.

• Provide leadership & educational opportunities
• Encourage and recognize superior scholarship

The following are excerpts of letters written by Triangle undergrads to give an undergraduate recipient view on the Foundation's programs:

Daniel C. Merkel marq03:  LEADING FROM BEHIND
Learned Leadership Style is Valuable Lesson

Since joining Triangle Fraternity in the spring of 2003, I find myself learning, teaching and more importantly, growing. I have the pleasure of becoming closer to people than I ever thought possible. This past year, now that I live in the chapter home, my learning, teaching, and growing has sky-rocketed to new heights. Living here has taught me many life lessons, including how one cleans and repairs a toilet after it leaks through a floor, how to deal with people who are at odds, and how to help others. All of these items may be expressed by the growth of my interpersonal skills. Over these past years, I have helped Brothers become more comfortable in professional settings. Meanwhile, Brothers here have helped me willingly and openly to become more socially suave. Admittedly, this is an area that I needed a great deal of help. To that end, I have made leaps and bounds with the help of the people that I have found here at Triangle.
