I second the getting alums help, not just in monetary, but in donations of supplies and time. That is a big way we got our house fixed up last year. Also look into options through the school. I know at WSU alums can donate through the WSU Foundation and specifically request that the money go to ADPi's House Corp, or whatever. That way its tax deductible and the university has to do most of the paperwork. If you want to see what donations of time, supplies and money can do, check out
