Ideal Applicant
Local or affiliated Phi Delta Theta entities (chapters, house corporations, or centrally affiliated educational programs) seeking educational housing or member-development support, especially in Ohio.
Good Fit
- • Formal affiliation with Phi Delta Theta (chapter, club, or house association).
- • Requests for educational housing grants or member leadership/education programming.
- • Operating in Ohio or serving the fraternity’s core locations.
- • Existing or recent prior relationship with the Foundation or national office.
Geography
Latest-year giving was concentrated in Ohio (about 89% of dollars) while also funding recipients in two other states, indicating a primarily in-state focus with some out-of-state grants.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows six distinct recipients, most of which are affiliated fraternity chapters or house entities but with at least one independent educational institution also funded, so the recipient set is moderate in size and somewhat specialized.
New Applicants
Direct turnover evidence is limited but one new recipient appeared in 2023; there is no public application process posted, yet the foundation maintains a website and named contacts—suggesting occasional new entrants are possible but selection appears relationship-driven.
