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 />
