History
In 2005, the Long Range Planning Committee of the local Delta Chapter was formed with its objective to strategically position the chapter to generate continuous long-term financial growth as a means to begin the process of securing a permanent facility.
The members of the committee consisted of several Charter members of the Chapter and other interested chapter members. When the cost for rental of a building was explored, it was concluded that the Chapter needed to move in the direction of pursuing its own property. The focus of the committee changed to securing a non-profit Foundation to work with the Chapter to secure a facility.
The committee worked diligently on developing the Articles of Incorporation and ByLaws to submit the Application for Recognition of Exemption. The names of the incorporators (signees) were: Fara Bostic, Carla Collier, Beverly Marshall, Delia Parker Mims, Val Morgan & Dorothy Watts. On May 2, 2006, The Certificate of formation was filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of Texas for the establishment of the Delta Public Service Foundation of Denton County, a non-profit corporation.
Since 2014, Delta Sigma Theta Headquarters and the IRS has clarified the roles of a 501(C)3 organization in relations to a local Delta Chapter- the two are separate entities; but they can still work together when specific guidelines are followed.
