Raise $500 in Just 6 Days
Fundraising doesn't have to be overwhelming. In fact, some of the most successful Founders' Day Challenge participants reach their goals by making a few intentional asks each day.
The $500 in 6 Days Challenge breaks fundraising into simple, manageable tasks designed to help you connect with the people who already believe in Delta Sigma Pi and your chapter. By reaching out to a handful of brothers, alumni, faculty, family members and mentors each day, you'll be surprised how quickly your fundraising page grows.
Every conversation is an opportunity to share your Delta Sigma Pi story and explain how gifts to the Leadership Foundation make a lasting impact through Chapter Leadership Funds, educational programming, leadership development and scholarships.
Why This Works
Successful fundraising is about personal connections, not sending hundreds of messages.
This challenge encourages you to:
- Make meaningful, personal asks instead of mass requests.
- Share why Delta Sigma Pi has impacted your life.
- Reconnect with brothers, alumni and supporters.
- Build momentum with one small task each day.
- Celebrate your progress as you earn each daily badge.
Even if someone isn't able to give, you've helped spread awareness about the Founders' Day Challenge and the impact of the Leadership Foundation.
Tips for Success
Before you begin, take a few minutes to prepare:
- Personalize every message whenever possible.
- Include a photo or short video that highlights your Delta Sigma Pi experience.
- Explain why you're participating and what the Foundation means to your chapter.
- Thank every donor personally, regardless of the gift amount.
- Share your fundraising progress on social media throughout the week.
Remember, people are much more likely to give when they understand why you're asking.
