If I make a gift directly to my fraternity/sorority, will it count as a gift to UoB and/or to the Alumni Fund?
Gifts made directly to fraternities, sororities, or independent living groups (FSILGs), although extremely valuable to the individual chapters, are not credited as gifts to either UoB or to the Alumni Fund. Donors may support the FSILG system and have their gift count as a gift to UoB by designating it to the Independent Residence Development Fund (IRDF). Gifts to the IRDF—unlike direct gifts to most of the individual houses—are tax-deductible, and are far more likely to qualify for matching gift programs.
