Donor Recognition
Our donors help us advance our mission and leave a lasting legacy.
THANK YOU for investing in TKE and Building Better Men for a Better World.
The Fraternity is in a renaissance! Our ability to grow and impact our collegiate men, our communities and our alumni is more important than ever. As records continue to be broken, your support moves the organization forward. There are a number of ways to support the Fraternity. Consider becoming a annual leadership donor.
From Knight to Business Council, all leadership donors to Life Loyal Teke will be recognized in the Foundation’s honor roll. We want to celebrate you and share our gratitude for your generous support. Whatever level of giving you choose, we want you to know you are appreciated. With your support, the fraternity will continue to aid men in their mental, moral, and social development for life. The time is now to show we are… the Fraternity For Life.
Giving Clubs
Knights
Are you interested in starting your leadership journey as a TKE Foundation Donor? This is a great opportunity for new donors, recent graduates and alumni of all ages, or friends and family of TKE who want to be more engaged and actively support our great Fraternity.
Knights demonstrate their commitment with a 3-year giving subscription of $10 or more a month to Life Loyal Teke. With continued opportunities for networking and brotherhood, along with other benefits, becoming a Knight is a great first step to supporting the Fraternity in a bigger way. Knights Pledge Form
Spartans
TKE Foundation Spartans show a continued commitment to raising the bar to drive innovation and impact even more Fraters across TKE Nation.
Spartan level donors make a similar 3-year subscription to Life Loyal Teke, but at $25 or more a month. Stay connected, get the inside scoop, and lift the fraternity to new heights as a Spartan! Spartans Pledge Form
Champions
Your dedication as a Champion provides tremendous support for the Tekes of today and the future. It is time to stand up and stand out as a Champion for the TKE Foundation!
TKE Foundation Champions are those leadership donors contributing $50 or more a month within their 3-year subscription to Life Loyal Teke. With the unique Champions lapel pin and additional networking opportunities, this step benefits both the Fraternity and yourself at a greater level. Champions Pledge Form
Ambassadors
TKE Foundation Ambassadors demonstrate their commitment through the generous support and with greater opportunities to volunteer for the Foundation and represent.
Ambassador level donors show their support by contributing $1,000 or more annually for 5 years to the Life Loyal Teke Fund. This group of leadership donors is chaired by a Past Grand Prytanis and has a staff liaison. Take advantage of the additional networking opportunities through quarterly calls with VIP guests and more. Ambassador Pledge Form
Business Council
The TKE Foundation’s Business Council is a group of volunteers showing their support through their generous leadership giving and their direct engagement with programs, quarterly discussions, and board meetings.
By making a 5-year pledge at a level of $3,000 or more annually, donors can join the Business Council and engage more directly at the leadership level. Chaired, by a Past Grand Prytanis, their quarterly calls are an opportunity to share input and perspectives that can be shared with both the Foundation Board and the Grand Council. Members of the Business Council are also invited to attend meetings of the TKE Foundation Board of Directors. Business Council Pledge Form
Heritage Society
The Heritage Society recognizes those who have chosen to leave their legacy by including TKE in their estate plans through a bequest or beneficiary designation.
Leaving a planned gift for TKE makes a huge impact on the future of the Fraternity. Our partnership with FreeWill can help guide you through the process of creating a legally valid will for free. Or, if you would prefer to finalize your will with an attorney, this tool can also be used to create a list of documented wishes. It takes less than 20 minutes to solidify your TKE legacy with a planned gift. Get started on your free will today.
Contact the Foundation at 317-872-6533 to learn more about planned giving, or visit our planned giving website for additional resources.
