  • In 2012 the Foundation raised over $28,000 from Canadian alumni representing every Canadian chapter
  • The Foundation successfully expanded its mandate beyond simply awarding scholarships – our plan to raise funds and issue tax receipts for a broader spectrum of leadership-related activities is beginning to see results based on the record donations received this year
  • The Foundation’s online giving program – utilizing CanadaHelps.org – continues to be extremely successful; alumni can make one-time or recurring online donations using a credit card. Also, the number of alumni making payroll deduction contributions to the Foundation via the United Way continues to grow
  • Thanks to our close association with the US Foundation we have kept out administrative expenses very low (less than $500) which allows us to give away a high percentage of what we raise every year to deserving undergraduates
  • With the appointment of Phi Delta Theta’s first-ever Director of Canadian Operations (Keegan Colville, NSA) the Canadian Foundation is working with Keegan to improve the awareness of the Foundation among Canadian alumni and undergraduates. We expect that this will allow the Foundation to grow its programs in the coming year
  • In 2012 the Foundation beganworking with the fraternity’s Iron Phi program to allow funds raised through this worthy program to be shared with both the Canadian Foundation and the ALS Society of Canada. Over $5,000 is being earmarked for the Foundation from the Iron Phi program thanks to Canadian Iron Phi participants in 2012
  • The Canadian Foundation expresses its gratitude to the ongoing support and assistance from the General Headquarters and US Foundation staff. We are an all-volunteer board and the support from the professional staff in the US is gratefully acknowledged
  • We recently welcomed Ken Chong (Toronto), Rob Parsons (Western Ontario) and Brent Herspiegel (McMaster) to the board
  • Finally, I would like to acknowledge the continuing efforts of all Canadian Foundation Directors over the past year. The Directors are as follows:
