46 KNIGHT ERRANT | THE DELTA CHI EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION<br />
ANNUAL REPORT<br />
2021<br />
Brothers,<br />
The <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Chi</strong> Educational Foundation (DCEF) had another year of growth and increased stability<br />
in 2021. Foundation total assets grew by $400,000 to a total of $4.16MM, breaking the<br />
$4MM threshold for only the second time in our history. This marked the DCEF’s 3rd consecutive<br />
year of growth, with total assets having increased 36% since 2018. Unrestricted revenue<br />
for 2021 exceeded expenses by 17%, and we continued to grow the endowment. The Foundation<br />
granted nearly $315,000 in support of student member scholarships, housing grants, and<br />
Fraternity educational initiatives in 2021.<br />
Our successes of 2021 have the Educational Foundation well positioned to support our<br />
brotherhood in <strong>2022</strong> and continue to grow. I hope you will join me in making a gift to the<br />
DCEF general fund in <strong>2022</strong> to keep the momentum going.<br />
Fraternally,<br />
The DCEF’s Annual Report is an effort<br />
to communicate the Financial health,<br />
Fundraising performance, and Program<br />
impact of the organization.<br />
