What is the Founders' Day Challenge?
The Founders' Day Challenge (FDC) is a fundraising campaign created as an effort to raise money for the Chapter Leadership Funds (these funds help chapters cover the cost of national Fraternity events, professional development events and more) and the annual fund while celebrating Founders' Day.
What are Chapter Leadership Funds?
Through Chapter Leadership Funds (CLFs), chapters can request grants to defray the direct cost of LEAD Provincial Conferences, LEAD Schools, Grand Chapter Congress and Presidents' Academy. Additionally, grants may be provided to cover costs associated with chapters or chapter members sponsoring or attending educational or professional/personal development speakers and/or workshops, conferences or similar events. Learn more about Chapter Leadership Funds at dsp.org/clf.
How can I prepare for the Founders' Day Challenge?

We'll be discussing Chapter Leadership Funds, how to customize team pages, set up individual pages and more! The webinar is geared toward chapter officers, but all are welcome. There will be time at the end for questions.
