Purdue – “Purdue Leadership and Educational Housing Fund”
The new Purdue Leadership and Educational Housing Fund (PLAEHF) allows tax-deductible donations for scholarships, educational programs, and Chapter House improvements apportioned by the living space dedicated to “educational” purposes. This new fund is a non-endowed Fund, where after a nominal 5% fee by National for maintaining the fund, 100% of the remaining donation is available for qualified expenses approved by the Chapter Alumni Board and meeting the educational
requirements defined by the Internal Revenue Service. The PLAEHF is administered by Triangle Education Foundation (TEF) and contributions may be made directly
on their website, or by directing your contribution from your checking account, your brokerage account or your IRA to the PLAEHF via Triangle Educational
Foundation. (Note: for Alums over age 70 and one-half, the “Qualified Charitable Donation” option may provide tax advantages).
The TEF website supports all Triangle Chapters, so we have provided the attached documents to help navigate the site to ensure your donation is applied to the PLAEHF

New Career Mentoring Program
Recently, the Alumni Board approved an Alumni mentoring program, and we are now in the start-up phase of this exciting new program. Being a STEM fraternity with over 100 years on campus, our Alumni base is uniquely positioned. We have about 1500 living Alumni with thousands of years of career experience in the professions our new graduates will begin. Our potential to mentor, guide, and connect professional networks for the career development of these young men is beyond comparison. We believe this program could become a tremendous competitive advantage in the future for recruiting new members and the overall brand image of Purdue Triangle!
