Literacy has the power to open doors, spark curiosity and create brighter futures. Through Local Impact Grants, Pi Phi chapters and alumnae clubs can support literacy efforts in their own communities by directing 25% of their fundraising contributions to local, literacy-focused nonprofits, matched dollar-for-dollar by our Foundation.
