Overview

Mission

To own and operate as the landlord of a college fraternity house. To raise money from donations and rent to pay off the mortgage.

What it reported doing in 2025

Raising money from alumni members of the corporation. A major funraising campaign was started in 2025 to retire our mortgage debt. There was no specific or formal fundraising event where alumni assembled for the purpose of raising funds but a series of email and phone calls by our Fundraising Team consisting of fraternity brothers who went to Trine University and lived in the House in different eras.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
