Kappa Sigma
Delta Rho Chapter | Franklin & Marshall College
Established in 2015, the Kappa Sigma Delta-Rho Educational Foundation is an IRS-designated 501(c)(3) charitable foundation. Accordingly, all gifts to the Charitable Foundation are tax-deductible. The Foundation’s legal counsel (Fraternal Law Partners – www.fraternallaw.com) has determined that the new house at 441 College Avenue will be 24.3% ‘educational,' per IRS guidelines.
Accordingly, the Foundation was able to raise 24.3% of the $1.4 million total project cost through charitable contributions, then make an educational grant to the Star & Crescent Alumni Association, which owns the new property.
The Educational Foundation’s current priorities, in support of the developing Delta-Rho Colony, are the following:
Your contributions to the Kappa Sigma Delta-Rho Educational Foundation are 100% tax deductible*. The Foundation periodically provides grants to the Kappa Sigma Star & Crescent Alumni Association, the owner of the Delta-Rho Chapter House at 441 College Avenue in Lancaster. These grants are for the purchase, renovation, maintenance and operation of the educational areas within the Chapter House, as well as for scholarships, leadership training, etc.
* If making a tax-deductible gift is not important to you (i.e. you do not itemize your deductions when filing federal income taxes), please make your pledge/gift directly payable to the “Kappa Sigma Star & Crescent Alumni Association.”
(Please note that gifts to Kappa Sigma are not considered gifts to Franklin & Marshall College for donor recognition purposes; we encourage all donors to continue to support the Franklin & Marshall Fund and other College initiatives.)
