Electronic Funds Transfer

Fraters and friends can make a monthly gift to TKE Educational Foundation (TEF) without ever having to write another check, through an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Through EFT you can spread your annual support over the course of a year by authorizing your bank to transfer a predetermined amount to TEF each month. By making your gift through an EFT, you also help the University to reduce the amount of paper, time, and costs in postage used to send you annual appeals.

To implement an EFT to Teke, simply fill out the EFT Form (PDF) and send it in with a voided check to:

Or make a recurring EFT gift to the TKE Educational Foundation through our secure online portal.

Matching Gifts

Many companies have established matching gift programs whereby they will match any gift made by an employee to a qualified charitable organization. The impact of your gift to TKE may be doubled or possibly tripled!,

To find out if your employer has such a program, visit the following link: https://www.matchinggifts.com/rit/.

If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it with your gift. We will do the rest. Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.

Stocks And Securities

Giving securities that have increased in value is a great way to both benefit TKE and bypass the capital gains tax due on a sale. A gift of stock is valued for tax purposes on the date of transfer. The fair market value of gifts of long-term, capital gain securities or real estate is deductible up to 30% of a donor's adjusted gross income. Any amount in excess may be carried forward for a period of five years.

Prior to sending wire please notify TKE Educational Foundation CFO Brett Widner at bwidner@tke.org or 317-872-6533.

Tribute Giving

Memorial gifts in tribute of Fraters who have entered the Chapter Eternal are an excellent way to honor their lifetime involvement and contributes to Tau Kappa Epsilon. Gifts may also be made in honor of a Frater or friend. Such gifts can be a means to celebrate a close friendships and recognize alumni achievements on behalf of the Fraternity.

The families of those so honored are informed of your thoughtfulness and you receive acknowledgement of your gift.
