Annual and Lifetime Giving
Recognizing all DUEF donors through membership in Annual Giving Clubs and Lifetime Giving Circles.
ANNUAL GIVING CLUBS
Given how critical the Annual Loyalty Fund is for the DU Educational Foundation and the educational programs we fund, our donors are honored each year with membership in Annual Giving Clubs. Although annual gifts of any size are encouraged and welcomed, the Foundation’s goal is to recognize donors and encourage them to aspire for membership in higher Annual Giving Clubs in the future.

LIFETIME GIVING CIRCLES
The Foundation will forever be grateful for the DUs, parents and friends who provide gifts of time and treasurer throughout their lives. The more lifelong donors committed to investing in our Building Better Men mission, the greater our Fraternity and our world will be. Thankfully, the DUEF has donors with more than $1,000,000 in lifetime giving, as well as younger brothers who have gifted $10,000 and counting. Along with recognition in the Annual Report, the Lifetime Giving Circles explained below are on permanent display on the Lifetime Giving Wall at the International Headquarters.

“I am proud of my support of the DU Educational Foundation over the past 52 years. Delta Upsilon has provided me with a life-changing experience through undergraduate associations and lifelong friendships ever since. It is highly gratifying to see the tradition of developing new leaders continue from the Fraternity’s efforts, and I’m glad to support the work DU continues to do.”
