Our Philanthropy

National Partnership

 

On Wednesday, July 30, Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc. and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute  (CHCI) signed an agreement that includes both a philanthropic and service commitment to support CHCI’s high school college readiness programs in Washington, D.C. and throughout the United States. Lambda Theta Phi’s national fundraising campaign will aid CHCI’s Ready 2 Lead Next Gen program, a week-long civic engagement experience for 9th, 10th and 11th grade Latino students to learn about the federal government and explore Washington, DC. Lambda Theta Phi will also support CHCI’s Ready 2 Lead college readiness events, held throughout the United States, with undergraduate and alumni volunteers.

 

National Philanthropy

 

The most significant part of the partnership with CHCI is a commitment to raise funds for the R2L NextGen  program. The goal for 2014 was to raise $18,000 to support seven students who would attend the one-week experience in Washington, D.C.

 

The Fraternity will fundraise each year to support R2L NextGen much like our past philanthropic efforts to benefit the American Heart Association. Chapters are encouraged to collect change in support of the fundraising effort (replacing our former Nickel Drive with the Quarter Drive), while also encouraging competition among chapters and sectors using the Crowdrise format that enjoyed significant success last year when total fundraising surpassed $14,000.

 

Chapter Philanthropy

 

In addition to the R2L NextGen Philanthropic Event, the Alpha Omega chapter of Lambda Theta Phi commits itself to fundraise for it's annual Summer Institute Scholarship. Summer Institute (SI) is an academic orientation program held annually for newly admitted freshmen. SI helps make a successful transition from high school to college.
