The Living Bond Society was introduced in 2000 and acknowledges those who have informed the Phi Delta Theta Foundation of a planned gift or bequest in their will. Gifts to the Phi Delta Theta Foundation are deductible for estate tax purposes.

Naming the Phi Delta Theta Foundation in your will or as a beneficiary of your estate plans, or with planned gift, is a way of expressing your hopes and dreams for the success of fellow brothers, and the long-term sustainability of Phi Delta Theta for decades to come. Members of the Living Bond Society are presented with a lapel pin and certificate recognizing their generosity.

Living Bond Society gifts include, but are not limited to:

A bequest in a will or trust

An insurance policy naming the Foundation as a beneficiary or policy owner

A charitable gift annuity

Gifts of all or part of an IRA

A charitable remainder trust

Gifts of personal property or securities

Gifts of real estate
