What is MDEF?

In the wake of the re-formation of the House Corporation into the Marietta Delt Alumni Association, several Marietta Delts came together and created the Marietta Delt Educational Foundation in 2014. The Marietta Delt Educational Foundation is separate and independent of the Marietta Delt Alumni Association, but both organizations are committed partners with a common goal of helping the Epsilon Upsilon Chapter.

The MDEF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed to assist the Undergraduate members of the Epsilon Upsilon Chapter of Delta Tau Delta with their education and leadership training through grants, scholarships, and MDEF-provided programs and activities. As a 501(c)(3), annual donations to the Educational Foundation are tax deductible. This is not the case with donations to the Alumni Association. Also, the Educational Foundation can be included favorably in people’s estate plans.

The Marietta Delt Educational Foundation has published an annual report since 2023. To find out more about the Foundation and the work we have done in any particular year, click below.
