Ideal Applicant
A Phi Gamma Delta chapter, house corporation, alumni association, or an organization directly serving the fraternity’s educational and member-support purposes.
Good Fit
- • Direct affiliation with Phi Gamma Delta (chapter, house corporation, alumni group)
- • Requests tied to member assistance, scholarships, or chapter facilities
- • Project budget and ask sizes similar to recent grants (tens of thousands to mid-six-figures)
- • A local or regional connection to Kentucky or other states with past grants
Geography
Recent grants reached recipients in nine states, showing a multi-state footprint, though the foundation’s home state (Kentucky) received a majority share (about 56%) of dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 10 distinct recipients and multiple independent chapter/house entities, but the portfolio is narrowly mission-aligned to fraternity-related organizations rather than a wide public charity mix.
New Applicants
Six new recipients appeared in the latest year, suggesting turnover and entry is possible within the fraternity network; however, there are no public application guidelines and giving is tightly focused on fraternity affiliates, so openness to unfamiliar, unaffiliated applicants cannot be confirmed.
