Founders’ Day Challenge is a fundraising competition to support Lambda Chi Alpha and celebrate 115 years of Brotherhood.
Dollars raised support officer training, conferences, programs, scholarships, disaster relief, volunteer support, and more.
Your donation is tax-deductible and will be matched: for every $3, matching donors will contribute $1. Donate by November 2.
For more information on how to give by check, bank transfer, IRA, stock, or donor-advised fund, visit this link, email our team at foundation@lambdachi.org, or call (317) 803-7357.
Become an Ambassador
Ambassadors support the Founders’ Day Challenge by encouraging Brothers to donate – you can join your Chapter team and create a fundraiser page to help spread the word.
Register to attend our Ambassador training on Tuesday, October 15 at 3:00 pm EST.

What Makes It a Challenge?
Chapter teams fundraise to celebrate Founders’ Day while also enjoying a friendly competition!
Chapter teams are divided into three divisions:
- Purple: Chapters that are dormant or inactive
- Green: Chapters with 59 or fewer active undergraduates
- Gold: Chapters with 60 or more active undergraduates
Winners are the top three chapters in each division for participation (donors) and impact (dollars) and receive special recognition, awards, and bragging rights.
Chapters with 100% of their undergraduates joining Mason’s Circle with a gift of $19.09 receive special recognition and awards.
For additional information, please contact Shelby Parr at sparr@lambdachi.org or (317) 803-7352.
