Founders' Four Challenge
Honor Our Founders. Invest in Our Future.
This Founders’ Day, we’re challenging every Delta Sigma Pi member to make an impact by securing four donors for the 2026 Founders’ Day Challenge.
The idea is simple: You find four people. They make a gift. Together, we help strengthen Delta Sigma Pi and create more opportunities for the next generation of business leaders.
Whether your four donors are family members, friends, alumni, coworkers or fellow Deltasigs, every donor brings us one step closer to making a greater impact.
Why Four?
Because small actions add up.
Imagine a chapter with 40 members. If every member secures just four donors, that’s 160 donors supporting your chapter and Delta Sigma Pi!
Your four donors could help provide opportunities for members to attend leadership and professional development events, including LEAD Schools, LEAD Summits, LEAD Provincial Conferences, Presidents’ Academy and Grand Chapter Congress.
Four donors can make a difference. And your four can be the start.
Your Challenge: Find Four Donors
1. Make Your Own Gift
Start by showing your support for Delta Sigma Pi and the Founders’ Day Challenge.
2. Find Four Donors
Reach out to four people in your network and ask them to make a gift in honor of Founders’ Day.
3. Share Why It Matters
Tell them what Delta Sigma Pi means to you and how their gift can help provide opportunities for today's members and future Deltasigs.
4. Celebrate Your Impact
Every donor counts toward your chapter's participation and helps us celebrate Founders’ Day by investing in the future of Delta Sigma Pi.
Who Should You Ask?
Think beyond your immediate circle! Your four donors could be:
- Family members
- Friends
- Alumni
- Fellow Deltasigs
- Coworkers
- Mentors
- Professors or faculty members
- Former chapter members
- Anyone who believes in the future of Delta Sigma Pi
Don't be afraid to ask! You may be surprised by how many people are willing to support something that has made a difference in your life. Check out the Chapter Toolkit for social and email templates.
What Can Your Gifts Support?
Gifts made through the Founders’ Day Challenge can help support Chapter Leadership Funds (CLFs) and the Deltasig Fund.
Chapter Leadership Funds help chapters access funding for leadership and professional development opportunities, including LEAD events, Grand Chapter Congress, Presidents’ Academy and educational or professional development programs.
Your four donors aren't just helping reach a fundraising goal - they're helping create real opportunities for Deltasigs to learn, lead and grow.
