Campaign 2030: Celebrating Progress and Embracing the Future
Celebrating the Progress of Campaign 2030
As the Phi Delta Theta Foundation reaches the midpoint of its boldest fundraising initiative to date, Campaign 2030: A Greater Version for Tomorrow, the organization pauses to celebrate extraordinary progress—and to welcome a new era of leadership.

Launched with a vision to raise $30 million by the year 2030, Campaign 2030 has already achieved remarkable milestones. Under the strategic guidance of founding Chair Kenny Jastrow and Vice Chair Mike Fimiani, the campaign has raised over $20 million to date. These funds have fueled transformational growth across the Fraternity, including the creation of forty-three new scholarships and chapter leadership funds, the awarding of $1 million in first-generation student scholarships, and the expansion of leadership development programs like the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute.
At the recent Campaign 2030 Midpoint Luncheon, the Phi Delta Theta Foundation honored Jastrow and Fimiani for their visionary leadership. Their tenure laid the foundation for a campaign that is not only redefining what it means to be a Phi but also positioning the Fraternity to be recognized as a national leader in service-based leadership development.
Embracing the Future
Tio and Janell Kleberg, longtime champions of leadership education and the namesakes of the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute, become co-chairs of Campaign 2030.
As the campaign enters its second half, leadership transitions to a new team with deep roots in Phi Delta Theta and a shared passion for its future. Tio and Janell Kleberg, longtime champions of leadership education and the namesakes of the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute, now serve as co-chairs, joined by their son, Chris Kleberg, as vice chair. Their appointment signals a renewed commitment to expanding the campaign’s reach and impact.
“Our goal is to ensure that every young man who joins Phi Delta Theta has the opportunity to grow into a principled leader. This next chapter is about legacy—about building something enduring for the generations to come. And it’s not just about major gifts—every Phi can participate, no matter the amount. Every contribution helps shape the future.” said Tio Kleberg.
“Phi Delta Theta has a profound impact not only on young men but on their families and communities. We believe in supporting the kind of leadership that lasts a lifetime and creates ripple effects far beyond the college years.” added Janell Kleberg.
Reflecting on the leadership transition, Foundation President Sean Wagner shared, “We are deeply grateful to Kenny and Mike for their extraordinary leadership and vision in launching Campaign 2030. Their efforts have laid a powerful foundation. As we welcome Tio, Janell, and Chris into their new roles, we are energized by their passion and commitment to shaping the future of Phi Delta Theta. The second half of this campaign promises to be just as transformative.”

The next phase of Campaign 2030 will focus on scaling successful initiatives and launching new ones. Priorities include expanding in-person leadership programs like the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute and McKenzie Family Presidents Leadership Conference, enhancing curriculum, and increasing accessibility through scholarships and travel assistance. The campaign will also expand mental health and wellness programming, strengthen risk management and anti-hazing education, and increase scholarship support to meet the rising cost of higher education. The strategic roadmap includes educating 2,500 members in person annually, awarding $2 million in scholarships and leadership funding, and building a sustainable Phi Delt Fund that generates $1 million annually. All of this with the ultimate goal of positioning the Phi Delta Theta Foundation as the leading Fraternity Foundation in member impact—measured by the highest annual grant distributions and the meaningful support we provide to enrich the lives of our brothers.
With momentum strong and a new leadership team in place, Campaign 2030 is poised to finish even stronger than it began.
