The Fraternity is seeking your assistance in a national grassroots campaign of letter writing by all fraternities and sororities in support of the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act of 2005. This legislation will fundamentally improve the ability of college fraternities to improve our student housing by redefining existing tax law to allow tax-deductible charitable contributions made to national or local 501(c)(3) organizations (such as the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation) to be used at the chapter level for a broad range of purposes, including making safety and infrastructure improvements to our chapter houses.
We are asking for you to take fifteen minutes of your time between now and March 15 to draft a couple of letters to Congress in support of the legislation,......
We believe that if the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act of 2005 becomes law, we can legally utilize tax deductible donations to make our housing and overall membership experience safer and more attractive to future generations of students.
