What is the Founders' Day Challenge?
The Founders' Day Challenge (FDC) is a peer-to-peer online fundraising campaign created to raise money for the Chapter Leadership Funds (these funds help chapters cover the cost of national Fraternity events, professional development events and more) and the Deltasig Fund (greatest needs) while celebrating Founders' Day. Also in 2025, we also celebrate 50 years of women initiated into Delta Sigma Pi. 
 
What are Chapter Leadership Funds?
Through Chapter Leadership Funds (CLFs), chapters can request grants to defray the direct cost of LEAD Provincial Conferences, LEAD Schools, LEAD Summits, Grand Chapter Congress and Presidents' Academy. Additionally, grants may be provided to cover costs associated with chapters or chapter members sponsoring or attending educational or professional/personal development speakers and/or workshops, conferences or similar events. Learn more about Chapter Leadership Funds at dsp.org/clf.

Start Fundraising: 
Founders' Day Challenge campaign pages will be available to all members on October 22. All collegiate chapters should claim the TEAM page already created for them – and then customize it to amplify your message. From there, invite all your chapter members to join the TEAM and start raising funds for your CLF.  Others can create their pages and/or team – invite friends and family to join and raise money for your favorite Deltasig causes.
