Challenge kind of means to them and talk about our goal that we have for the the found for the challenge I’m going to give you the boring stuff in the middle uh hopefully we get through that quickly uh to give you some of the basics of the
Leadership funds and the how to help you raise money and then at the end it’ll be kind of the fun part we’re going to do the demo of the web site so you so many of you probably have already worked on it some of you may not worked on it
Before so we’ll do that at the end and we’ll have we’ll open up for questions so once again I’m Shan Gregory I’m the vice chair of the Delta stma Leadership Foundation and I’m going to turn it over to our two collegians of the year uh if
I can get to the next page to go there we go to Sydney and Christian I’ll turn it over to you uh for the next couple slides all right Sean thank you for that um I’m gonna let Sydney ladies first I’m let Sydney take it away first and I’ll just hop in right
After hello everyone it’s so exciting to be here with all of you tonight and to kick off are starting to talk about the founders day challenge my name is cdy Samson web I’m your 2023 Collegian of the year and I’m so excited to co-chair this with Christian and we’ll get into
Exactly what we’re co-chairing here so what is yeah you can go oh no I just was gonna say hey everyone I’m Christian um very excited I’m seeing some similar faces from Chicago uh this past lead school but very excited to um really get this fundraiser underway so go
Ahead yeah so what is this Founders Day Challenge it’s a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign that runs November 7th through the 8th and it celebrates 100 16 years believe that of our Brotherhood and we try to raise money for different chapter leadership funds and also the annual fund so this
Fundraiser directly helps you and your chapters out um when it comes to attending National events bringing in really cool neat speakers and just raising funds to have the best alistic experience right on and to just piggy back right off of that um for those you
That went to the sh the Chicago lead I kind of spoke about this briefly as well um but again this this fundraiser we want to make sure it Focus it’s on um not specifically for our collegians you know if our or for our collegians to specifically donate you know if you can
By all means um please do but again we understand you’re in college you know you’re going Day to-day by the ramen i’ I’ve been there done that um it just we want to make sure that you reach out to that applicable alumni and the companies and um other leaders in your community
To really help uh gather these or accumulate these funds for your chapter okay um we want to make sure that we’re targeting those um generous individuals that are able to help us move forward um and that you’re not just scraping the bottom of the barrel uh with your own
Pockets now what is our Fund Raising goal for this year it’s $116,000 which is a bit more than we raised in total last year so setting the standards high and helping to achieve this with the help of all of you on this call and Across the Nation
Absolutely and if for for those of you that were really paying attention the $116,000 correlates with 116 years of Delta Sigma Pi so it is we’re kind of hitting home right now um with this specific goal um again we’ll get into the details of everything moving forward
I did just want to bring this up um one of the people on the zoom I believe right now uh Kristen are you here I believe so you can makeing a little Emoji but um she actually sent me an email just I was reading this just before I hopped on uh thinking
Um all of the people that donated to her chapter leash fund earlier today or earlier last year um and it made me smile and I’m assuming all the other people that donated to her chapter that also um Got It Made made them smile as well she made it very personal and I can
Assure you I’m going be donating back to her chapter again this year just because of the email so um little things to keep in mind well thank you Christian and Sydney for that um we raised 108 ,000 last year so we our goal is to increase it
$16,000 dollar for the 116 years of Brotherhood um you know we want to even go higher than that but our first goal is to try to get to 116 I think we can do it uh and the things you learned from this seminar um should help uh you
Enhance your efforts in fundraising so what are chapter leadership funds so they are chapter specific accounts within the Delta sigai Leadership Foundation and they’re created to receive charitable gifts restricted to your specific chapter now this is a new um fairly new I I I keep saying it’s new
But it’s been a few years since the foundation created all these uh funds for all the different chapters uh which allows alumni or brothers to donate specifically to your chapter through the foundation and they would get credit through the foundation of giving and they could possibly be tax deductible to
Them if that uh if they can itemize on their taxes uh as well and so those are that’s what the the chapter leadership fund fund is what is it used for so the biggest part of the foundation is or of the fund is used to go to lead schools
Lead provinces the schools grand chapter Congress president’s Academy those items were where you’re attending a fraternity event it helps you know defay the cost to get there your your travel your your car rental your airline your hotel the registration fees um and about actually almost all probably 90 to
95% of the chapters that request money request money for this specific purpose you can also use it to cover a cost associated with professional or personal developmental speakers workshops if you go on a field trip or a business trip and there’s there’s costs associated with that you can as well you know get
Money back from that from your chapter uh leadership fund but for the most part the the people have re requested money from has been from travel to different fraternity events um because we want as many members of your chapter to attend these events um because I think it’s
It’s a positive event you know there’s networking social aspects uh the fraternity knowledge you gain and then also it’s kind of fun to go to a new city new to do to travel somewhere else I know when I was a brother when we went we went to Tallahassee I’m in I’m live
In Tampa Florida four four hours up the road to Tallahassee never been to Tallahassee before we went there um chapter leadership funds didn’t exist then but that would have been nice to help us cover the cost of us going to an event in Tallahassee so why should you
Participate or why should people or or how whe How can you participate in the challenge well one is make a gift you know you know Christian talked about um you know giving and and not necessarily we want the chapter members to give but if you can that’s that’s another option
To do but make a gift to the fund um the biggest thing I think for Collegiate members is to make sure you register as a participant and we’re going to get into that a little bit more detail as we go along in the in the in the webinar
Here to talk about how you do that and how you get others from your chapter to do that and then the third one is join a team uh and we’re going to talk more in detail about that as well the biggest thing about a team is that the teams for
All the chapters are already set up so the first this is the third year we’ve done this this this online giving campaign the first year we didn’t set up the teams at all and we learned we probably needed to set them up and so last year we set up the teams and
They’re set up again this year so you don’t have to go out there and set up your own team you just going to need to go to the website search your name your of your chapter and you can find your team and register and sign up that
Way one thing that we’re doing actively more active this year as we learned from last year is that one of the better ways or some of the chapters that raised the most money or had success raising money had an alumni or other person who was helping the chapter uh contact
Individuals that they knew um and we’ve kind of and we called them ambassadors last year and we’re going to we’re trying to push more ambassadors this year um the the ambassadors which mostly are alumni now some are can be Collegiates this year but most of them
Are alumni have access to some data and materials to utilize to help ensure that we can Target the right alumni in your chapters and so right now our goal is to try to get at least 50 um ambassadors so far I think we have between 10 and 20
Right now and we’re working at the lead schools that just happened in Chicago and the one that’s coming up in Atlanta and the other one that’s going to be out west we’re going to work on those as as well to raise more awareness of the ambassadors and if those who want to be
An ambassador please contact Shanda and she can get you on the list and we’re we’re GNA vent at the end of the month we’re going to do an ambassador training session on October 25th specific to them to help them gather some of the information that they can use to Target
Specific alumni and work with the chapters so they can raise more money for their chapter another thing that’s really cool that we’ve been successful at and jeene our Executive Vice President of the Leadership Foundation is working on it right now along with Shanda is to try to get matching and challenge gifts from
Alumni and other other members of Delta Sigma Pi uh before this event starts and our goal is to get to around $30,000 of matching gifts right when we start and we have 15 to 177,000 uh right about now of alumni that have agreed to do a match and matches come in different different
Different ways um you know we had some last year that between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m for everybody who made a donation this brother was going to give was match the first thousand to to a specific fund for for for everybody that that gave it
That late hour in the day um I’ve done ones before for my my my specific chapter Epsilon row and said that you know the first thousand that they raise I’ll match that thousand as well so so if they raise 700 I’ll give them 700 as well um so we’ve got several brothers
From different chapters all over the country that we’re reaching out to to try to match and so this could be an idea for you to talk to some of your brothers and maybe that are alumni maybe they would want to do a match as well why should chapters participate
Well this is pretty pretty self-explanatory um but really it’s to fund raise for their chapter leadership funds you know many of you I saw some of you at grand chapter Congress in Houston and many of the chapters that were there the brothers that were there were able
To go there because they had funds in their chapter leadership fund um the second thing is is to reach out to alumni for their from their chapter to provide them an update on the chapter activities so you can by doing this chapters can give alumni an update of
What you guys are doing um I received some emails last year from my home chapter that gave that asked me to donate but then it also said we’ve done X Y and Z we’ve got 62 Brothers uh we’ve done these different events uh this is just a little update on our chapter and
Oh by the way can you give to our our found or to the chapter leadership fund and then also just supports the mission of Delta Sigma Pi you know so those are some of the reasons why chapter should to participate a cool thing that we’ve got that we had last year that we’re
Continuing this year is that we’re doing some chapter incentives so a little little competition between the chapters and so we broke out the chapters between a smaller ones we called tier one tier two and tier three so 25 and less than 26 to 50 members and greater than 51
Members or we’re going to put the chapters in those buckets and the top two fundrais chapters in those buckets will get an additional donation put into their chapter leadership fund another $500 donation that will be donated by an alumni uh that we’re working on to to
Secure who that will be so but we will we will guarantee that that will happen and we’re excited to to be able to offer that incentive again this year all right so what are some best practices to promote your Founders Day Challenge page um so we’re going to do
Do this page here then the next slide are going is going to be called Sean’s tips to do right away uh for the founders day but but the first one is and Christian talked a little bit about this is that that if you can give you know maybe each brother can give
$197 you know support the founders day challenge with a gift you know and and 1907 is one of the options we have it’s not it’s not a lot but if you have a whole bunch of brothers that give 1907 that alumni may see that oh my gosh
They’ve raised $400 already from uh from Brothers giving 1907 I’m going to give 200 you know or I’m going to give 500 or I’m going to match you know so that could get other other people involved you know the more money you raise it it kind of raises eyebrows and makes people
Want to give as well um work with your chapter to educate them on what the Founders Day Challenge is and how it will benefit their chapter so those of you that are on this webinar are probably going to be more educated than others and you’re going to need to go back there and
Educate the brothers on the founders day challenge and how it can benefit with the chapter ask 10 Delta sigs to support the foundation you know you can go back and talk to your brothers of your chapter to get them involved um reach out to your network before the founders
Day challenge and let them know that it’s going to happen you know I’ve got a network of alumni that I’m going to be sending out emails to text messages uh phone calls seeing them in person over the next few weeks to to remind them that hey November 7th and
8th is coming up and uh I’m going to need you to to maybe give your donation my college roommate was a brother of Delta seg and he lives in Miami and I will reach out to him and see how he’s doing see how his family’s doing and
Then I’m gonna say hey I the chapter’s having their their uh their challenge again I just want to make sure you’re going to get an email make sure you see it and I’ll let you know you need to give and and he’s like thank you for
Reminding me I I I’ll give again so so little things like that prepping now helps for the for the future and then follow up like I just did there follow up with your network during the campaign dates as well to remind people that if they haven’t made a gift maybe they need
To make a gift so Sean’s tips here of things to do before the challenge starts and these are really important things that you need to do and some of these you need to do like right now so uh I would for the chapter members on here is that you
Should be able to go if you haven’t already gone to the web page you should go to the web page find your chapter team and immediately start adding pictures to it personalizing it put put a nice picture from initiation after initiation of your of of all your
Chapter members on there put some social activities some fun things uh professional events whatever you have add pictures to your page so your alumni when they come to the page they can see what your chapter’s done and you can do that immediately I would also go out there
And update and set up your chapter fundraising goal you know I think there we may have prepopulated a goal for you but you can go in there and change that and raise that up higher if you want to and you can also change it throughout the challenge so if you put $2,000 is
Your goal and you raised $2,000 on the 7th of November and you’ve got another day left let’s make it 3,000 or let’s make it 4,000 and keep the goal you can keep adjusting the goal up as you go um partner with an active well actually get
All get all of your brothers uh the pledges and active alumni to sign up to your chapter page immediately so we want to make sure you get everyone signed up immediately right now we have 270 I think it’s 273 it may be a little bit higher than that now brothers that
Are already signed up last year we only had 800 or so Brothers signed up the whole time so we’re still almost a month a little over little less than a month away and we’ve almost made got a third of what we had signed up last time and
So get your get everybody to sign up on the page that enables them to send out out emails to to post on social media so they can tag individuals uh to ask them for donations when we get to the actual challenge type partner with an active alumni of your chapter to assist with
The challenge so it’s the chapters that raise the most money uh kind of did it a combination of ways with an alumni a brother from their chapter who was able to contact their resources and then also the chapter reaching out to individual ual uh Brothers as well my my chapter
Where I came from I I raised a decent amount of money but the chapter did a whole bunch of money as well and they reached out to some alumni that were very um that hadn’t been heard heard haven’t heard from the chapter for a long time had they have never given to
The foundation never given to the chapter and were excited and you know kind of they they thought it was great that the chapter reached out to them and they gave some money now for every you know 50 you reach out to you may get two
Or three but at least you get you know two or three is better than none that you never had before many of your chapters also have alumni database because I know many alumni get emails from the vice president of alumni from the chapter uh or the alumni representative for the
Chapter um that sends out emails and updates on the chapter uh and so you’ve got some database already utilize that uh and make sure you’ve got that up to date as best you can so you can reach out to all the brothers uh from your
Chapter that way um as soon as you can to let them know the challenge is coming and then ask alumni your parents friends and families to donate because if you don’t ask them you have a zero chance of getting any money from them you know so
If you ask you you may get it but if you don’t ask you’ll never get it right and one one one chapter last year um every brother talked to their parents and many of the parents gave money as well and so the chapter raised a whole bunch of of
Money just from parents of brothers and pledges of the of the chap of the of the chapter all right so let some frequently asked questions we’re almost done with my boring part we get to the fun part of the online demo but this is kind of a a
A a snippet of of where you are of the website and really it’s simple as registering get involved clicking the the the button on there and registering like I talked about in my tip and let’s we’re going to read some of these through because these are some of
The questions that we received in the past U just want to go over some of these answers uh to these questions so will each Collegiate chapter have their own fundraising praise I think I’ve answered that already Yes each one has a preset team page already custom built um
I want to support my friend’s team but would prefer to donate to a to to a different team than they are supporting can I pick which fund I’m supporting yes you can you can donate to what other team uh just because you’re on one page
One area you can donate to any fund you want to donate to um I donated to probably four different chapters last year I know other alumni donated to other chapters I had uh I had actually a small chapter out west who only had seven or eight brothers sent out an email to
Several alumni all over the country you know saying that they are small kind of struggling chapter they don’t have a lot of alumni uh wanted to know if if we could support them and I actually I got that email and I gave them a donation
And so if you don’t ask you won’t never get um what if my chapters closed and this is kind of an alumni kind of question if I was alumni what if my chapter’s closed can I give to another chapter of course you can give to any chapter and we kind of encourage some
Chapters if if your chapter’s closed for some reason not in existence anymore and you’re an active alumni you want to give maybe give to one of the newer chapters that just was initi recently initiated who has a less amount of alumni there and so your support for them would be very
Beneficial what if I want to organize a team to fundraise for the Founders Day Challenge is this possible of course of course uh there will be other teams uh out there other than the specific um chapter teams there’ll be some alumni chap the the the Leadership Foundation will
Have a team the the the the central office staff usually has a team uh so there’s other teams that get involved as well so other people can have teams out there as well can I join more than one team this is one thing that happens unfortunately the software doesn’t allow
This uh Britney who’s going to talk a little bit here in a few minutes about the demo um is we we haven’t been able to make that work and so that’s a a area that we haven’t been able to overcome yet so and can anyone set up their own
Donation page yes anyone can set up their donation page uh like I noted ear register as a participant uh and get involved do you have to be on social media to participate as an ambassador no um for those alumni who want to do stuff and may not be uh High into social media
No you can promote your fundraising Page by sending a link to your page you can do it very Emil I was able to do things last year via text so there’s lots of different ways that you can send you don’t have to only use social media and
Then if a chapter you because some chapters last year did because this was around founders day and they some people had Founders Day picnics or events or socials and sometimes they had fundraisers is that where they ra raise some money you can also uh kind of do it
Offline and we can have we can account for the money for the um for these events if you do your own fundraising uh and we can work through that through the foundation staff to make sure you get credited on your team page uh kind of on
The back end uh for the awards and and and the credit for that all right we are about ready to move into the demo I’m gonna about ready to turn it over to Britney she’s smiling there are you ready Britney I am all right all
Right do I need to stop sharing um yes you’ll have to stop sharing all right I’m going to stop there you go it’s all yours all right thank you I’m Britney Kyer I am the executive assistant of the foundation um I do a lot of the the background work on this campaign and
Some other stuff so I am going to show you the one cause page and if you have questions just you know you can ask me as we go or um ask at the end and we can kind of go through that so one moment all right can everybody see my
Screen okay so this is our um our platform that we use that is called one cause uh we have used this for this our third year now using the same software um so if you’ve used this before it should be pretty easy I believe it does populate some of your information like
Your account um from last year but you’ll have to reup upload pictures and stuff so on this main page we have our foundation logo we talk about the founder a challenge this is very similar to the information that was just in the PowerPoint over here on the side um
You’ll see the the DSP letters as we reach our goal it’ll fill in with color so we can kind of see where we’re at on that um we have the donation portal turned off so on October 24th we will turn that back on and we can start receiving donations from there and there
Will be a a link over here um that says make a donation down here it shows you everybody who has already signed up we already have 359 people signed up um so you can kind of Click through some of them and see the different pages which
Is a lot of fun you can search to see you know if somebody has signed up yet or not talk about the found the chapter leadership fund so if you do have a question like what exactly can we use them for it is listed on here here um
Some pictures down here we will um list all of the the challenge brothers that Sean had mentioned earlier um for the matching gifts and stuff that’ll all be down here all right we have up here at the top we have the what’s happening so we
Have the the donor wall as you make a gift or somebody makes a gift in your honor it will show up on here one thing to remember is if you make 4 $25 gifts you will only show up in the the $25 range you will not show up in the $100
Range it is not ACC cumulative total unfortunately that is something that software limitation and we would love to find a way around that but we just haven’t found that solution yet we have our leader boards which obviously we don’t have anything on here yet but as we start to get donations and
People share pages that will all show up here the top teams show on here one thing that is important to remember is just because somebody has made a donation to your team page does not necessarily mean your clf has had a donation to it so um for example say
Sean makes a donation to you know his chapter but then also donates to every chapter in his Province um very kind of Sean to do that but yeah he may show up higher for his team page but those gifts you know will be accounted for at the
End and we will count every gift that comes in and that does include if somebody makes a gift on our our regular donation page so not through this one cause site I do monitor those sometimes people don’t want to to mess with setting this up and they just want to go
Straight to our regular website where they are familiar and make their gift I monitor all that it does get included in the totals so every chapter will will be you know if you’ve received a donation to your clf it will count for this during this founder a
Challenge uh we have a gallery so ask people add pictures we have a nice picture of Trisha and Patrick um some other you know pictures there’s as people add them we just continue to grow there um we have a timeline this shows you you know who registers it’s just kind of fun
To look through see see the why why did you know why did Bradley register to be a part of the found fed day challenge you know what is you know what is this reason um we do have the ambassadors and champions listed here as we add them um
Just have gotten started on this this is a new thing it will show you all of our ambassadors so if you want to see who you know who are the ambassadors for the founder State Challenge you can go here and see a list of all of these people so
That’s kind nice and you can reach out to them and even if they are not an ambassador for your chapter and you do not have an ambassador they certainly will have um knowledge to be able to help you answer questions anything that you may help or at least point you in
That right direction that you may need um we have our resources here so U there’s a how-to guide so you how to get started how do you manage your page all of that is there um we have our toolkits you can click there we will also be
Emailing the toolkit out to all of the participants tonight and anybody that signs up will get access to that toolkit as well we have our incentives I will be listing all of the the different tiers and what chapters fall under those tiers just so you know you know where exactly
Does your chapter fall on this incentive um so you can compare for the other chapters in your your group we will be publishing this training right here there will be the PowerPoint um we will also post the link for this webinar tonight just so you can reference back
If you need to look at it for any reason let’s just kind of has the about the Matter’s a challenge we will be listing all of the the matching gifts here so you can see like what day or what time do I need to make a gift to my
Clf for it to include you know to be included in this um and then we have the sorry it’s not letting me we have the get involved tabs you can join as a an individual join as a team um you can also at any time you can click here for

From a couple years ago so it does pull that from year to year um you can set up like what team you would like to join uh what your team’s fundraising goal is and not sure that’s a very random amount um you can change your photos you can
Customize all that um you can grow your team so this is kind of where Sean had talked about recruiting people you can recruit using text message or Facebook or email um if you have people who are on your team it’ll show everybody up here and you can send an email to the
Other team members this is where you can set up your notifications so um make sure that if you do not want to get an email every time someone joins your team I believe we have that turned off on our end as as well but let’s just to be safe
If you do not want an email every time somebody joins your team make sure you click that button um there’s some other settings here you can can play around with um setting up your page this is where you kind of talk this is important to say why you know why are you
Participating in this campaign what does this mean to your chapter how can you you know how can you share your your love for Delta Sig so um um you can one feature you can do is if you do not so you have your personal page but you want to just make it so
That your donors when they go to your page it just goes to the team page you can click that which is kind of nice you um so one important thing just you share your your story you know why what does this organization mean to you all of those things the Feelgood
Stuff that is kind of what helps share your story and get some donations for your attrac letion fund you can add your photos and pictures um photos and pictur photos and videos click here where you tell your story um if you wanted to host an event
So Sean kind of talked a little bit about that with this being you know Founders say if you have a a bake sale to raise money for your chapter you can set up your event on here I believe um Jim gheart has done some of these with his
Chapter you they have their event and it links up there and then it’ll also show up on the the timeline and the um just the overall upcoming events you can invite your friends to join you so any of your friends or family whoever you want to participate in this you just you know
Through there is there anything on here that I went very quickly through I’m certain that somebody has questions on or anything that I can help hey Britney can you show them when um so when they first get there how they where they need to go
To find their so let’s let’s try to find Epsilon oops along because I know they’re on let’s go and try to say they need to get people to sign up so what do they need to do so if you are joining the team right so you if you sign up and
You’re ready to join you can click that join team and if you scroll down it will show you all of the teams here um so you know we have some teams like the Atlanta alumni chapter since they are not a Collegiate chapter they did create their
Own team page and you know this kind of sh I talked about with the trustees may have a page maybe some other Pages outside of the regular Collegiate chapter Pages um but you can you search for Epsilon Upsilon up in the that search button and
Then yep and so if you type up here in the search button it’ll click on it and you can see their goal is 5,000 you can invite friends to join this team page um it talks about you know why Epsilon Upsilon wanted to do this has all of the
The contact information you can see Kristen has already added her information in there um and I know that last year had gone through and emailed you know leadership and other people to say hey we are doing this will you make a donation and it worked I believe you
Know she was a chapter that received an incentive last year so um you that makes a difference there are over here on this side is how you know um you can make the different levels you do not have to use these you can make a gift of any amount
So even though it says we have thee you know preset numbers in there you do not have to do that there is a way to just you click in there you can say other amount and type in your other amount so Mary had a question in the chat says
Once someone joins a team can they invite others and you you that there was that invite others yep invite others on that this little button right here so um you can invite using email or Facebook or Twitter um it looks like somebody else put in theat it’s only showing the FDC
From 2022 for them any suggestions on what someone should do to refresh or update are they um can you just make sure that you using the correct link so dsp.org FDC to make sure that it’s the correct year um maybe perhaps you’re on the wrong campaign year and if that does not help
Um reach out to me and we can do a we can troubleshoot it together offline if that is helpful um I do not know why that would be pulling up from previous year yeah I’m putting Britney’s email in the um chat for folks can they use what’s on the screen the ptp1
C2023 FDC team that work y you can use in the link yeah that’s what I thought okay we have any other questions you’re welcome to just you can unmute yourself if you have any questions please Brittney one thing I want you there is a place where you can send an email I
Believe um out to individuals requesting um the grow your team here well more or less to to ask for donations I thought it was a canned message when you did the email invite using email does it give yeah there it is y so if you go into your your manage
My page and you know mine looks a little bit different because I am the admin for this but everybody should have a manage my page you can also view your page so if you want to see what other people see you can click on that um so manage my
Page over here manage your team grow your team and then invite using email you can put in there is a limit to how many emails you can put in here I believe it is probably 20 if I had to guess um yeah I think it was 20 don’t put 350 of them in
There and then get sad um the other option is use your own email address and just link to your page so everybody has a URL you can just link to your page in your regular email what I did here Britney if I can jump in so I took this section
Here I made up my own kind of message that you know it said I’m an alumni of the chapter you know I’m trying to help the chapter raise money uh I’m reaching out to fellow alumni uh this will this link will click on the link and it’ll take you to their
Page where you can make a donation uh and then I put in like 20 emails and sent it and then copied the thing back in there put in another 20 I probably sent out 600 emails that way um you know it took me a little time um
Probably an hour or so of me you know send an email send an email send an email but I was able to send out like 600 emails to the to the alumni and probably received $2,000 because of that and so those are things that the
Chapters could do uh as well um you know if they have an alumni list already with emails they could send it out that way um and and I think I think that’s a bit and you can customize that message it kind of gives you a can message there uh
But you can you can you can go in there and change that message and and put whatever you want and we do have in the the tool gate we do have some sample messaging in there that you can use to invite others and share on social media
And all of that as well um and so if you you view your page this will give you your url so you can just copy and paste that and send that out if you need to send it in a way other than you know just the word we just talked about
Um is there anything there’s also I think there’s also a way that I was able to text myself last year a link to um to the to the page and then I was able to copy that text and text it to other people right there so you you put put in
Your your mobile number you you text me as a sample message and it sends you like it’s it’s it’s nice it’s got a little little picture of the foundation Challenge and you know you click on it uh I was able to copy that into other text messages and text other people that
I had had had cell phone numbers for that I knew that were friends of mine uh that that also uh you know was a was another way to get them to the page another way to get a link to the page so with got a couple of questions
I’ll just kind of keep up with those for us um Lexi asks does each chapter take away the full donation amount that is donated to their team or do certain percentages go elsewhere so 10% of each gift um remains with the foundation for administrative and processing fees the remaining 90% goes
In full to the chapter clf without any additional fees coming out um when you request them them or anything additional uh and do remember gifts to the foundation that go to your clf are tax deductible whereas gifts directly to your chapter are not tax deductible um if that matters to to the
Donors um so there’s one question uh then from Mary Miracle how do we know who may have already received an invitation from someone else on the team um and may not have joined no need to duplicate efforts I do not have a great answer for that um I can check with our software
Representative to see if she has a a way um if there’s a way to tell that I suspect that there probably is not a way to tell but I can check on that Mary and get back to you what other questions do people have in all oh yeah go ahead sorry I was
Gonna say another thing that we are adding that has not been on here yet we will have um we will have some little badges so there will be a badge if you’re an ambassador there’ll be a badge if you’ve reached your goal just some things that’ll be automatically added into your
Your profile as you reach these Milestones so something new this year and maybe a little bit fun hopefully we try to collect as many badges as possible um great so Janine and I led this session very similar to this without all the website instruction um in Chicago a
Couple of days ago at the lead and I was trying to think back to questions people asked on site and honestly I think um you know Sean and our KO and then Britney going through this really hit most of the areas that people had questions about so um so I I’m feeling
Like everyone’s out there probably online setting up their page as we’re together here which is great but we are here if you have other questions or comments or thoughts or if you need to um you setting this stage up on another day and you just really need help and need us to
Walk through this with you reach out to us we can certainly schedule a one-on-one meeting with you or we can screen share we can go through everything that we need to go through to help you just let us know you know how we can help um yeah yeah if you’re going
To be in Atlanta this weekend um I will be there along with some of our trustees uh you know and if you have questions we can talk about it there there will be other representatives in Denver Janine will be there as well as some other trustees so you know there
Will be some face-to-face opportunities if you do have some questions but again you can always email or call or whatever works best um we just want to help you raise money we want you to to have lots of dollars so that you can attend more and do more and and really enjoy the
Delta experience overall one thing um in the hub all chapters have access to a radius report that will show you alumni within I believe it’s 25 miles of your chapters uh of your school um if you need additional information a further list you can contact the central office
And we can certainly send you whatever list that you need to kind of help aid your you know efforts here your fundraising efforts if you need a full list of all alumni chapter we can provide that for you just let us know how we can help and somebody from our
Office can get you any information you need well if there’s no more questions I think Shanda’s got her contact out there um we can yeah we put Britney’s info out there um if you need help with the site central office at dsp.org to request a full alumni list um you know myself
Shand at dsp.org or anybody you can find all of our addresses on the website as well there we go I’m trying to get it up there we go yeah all right and then so just to final closing if no one has a questions just the things I think we for
Those on here can do immediately is like get your team page set up get some pictures personalize it um and get your brother Brothers to sign up you know get everybody to sign up have it have your next meeting have you know take 10 minutes and everybody go ahead and try
To get signed up so they’re so they’re they’re already on the website they’re signed up they’re registered and then they can send out those emails to their to their parents to their friends to other alumni they know their grandparents I know my son’s a brother
Of the fraternity and he sent it to his grandparents and his grandparents gave him money for it so to the chapter so they kind of grandparents like to do that so so that’s that and then the last thing is if you don’t ask someone for money they’re you’re not going to get it
So so ask 100 times and you’ll get five people to give you you know and that’s better than getting nothing so and if that’s if there’s no further questions I think we’re uh we’re done so thank you very much uh and we uh hope to have a successful reach our goal of
116,000 plus and uh we got a month to do it so thank you very much have a good evening thank you bye everybody
