Q. Are my donations 100% tax deductible?

A. Yes. The TKE Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, which means that all gifts to the Foundation are tax-exempt to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Q. Is my online donation page safe and secure?

A. The TKE Foundation’s online donation form is operated by Click & Pledge, a respected industry leader in online payment transactions. You enter your credit or debit card information onto a secure (SSL) website that encrypts your information so it is unreadable to anyone outside the transaction process.

Q. What does my donation support?

A. Individuals and chapters can apply their donations to different Foundation funds and programs by marking their gift as unrestricted or restricted.

Unrestricted: These are Life Loyal Teke donations which go to support vital Foundation initiatives such individual and chapter educational programming, leadership training, general scholarships, the educational foundation and important alumni outreach activities.

Restricted: Donors can restrict their gifts to the Foundation to support the Leadership, Scholarship and Housing (to name a few).

Please remember to indicate on your donation form your gift intention: unrestricted, or the specific fund/program to which you’d like to direct your gift.

Q. Can I make an automatic, recurring gift?

A. Absolutely! Check out our online giving form. This is a secure site where you can set up your own account and manage recurring donations to the Foundation.

Q. If I choose to send my gift by mail, how should I write my check?

A. Whether you choose to give to the Foundation unrestricted or choose to restrict a gift to a specific grant or scholarship, all checks are to be written to the TKE Foundation with the desired designation (see above for options) in the memo line or accompanying form or letter. The Foundation manages gifts for each separate fund and distributes your donation accordingly.

If you or your chapter collects gifts from other organizations or individuals for Foundation fundraising events, please encourage them to make individual checks out directly to the TKE Foundation instead of to you or your chapter, and send all of those checks in with your donation form. This ensures that each individual and business receives the tax benefit of their gift. Chapters are still recognized for gifts they send in this manner.
