endowments and special funds

Endowment gifts are investments in the long-term success of Pi Beta Phi — and a way for donors to make a lasting impact on our sisterhood. When you direct your gift to an endowment, your dollars are invested and the proceeds from those investments are used to support Pi Phi programs.

Gifts directed to special funds provide both immediate and long-term financial support for specific Pi Phi programs and areas of need.

To learn more about these giving opportunities, or how you can support Pi Phis by establishing an endowed or special fund with our Foundation, please contact us. To make a gift to an existing fund, visit our online giving page.
