Investing in our Sisterhood

Because grants from our Foundation provide critical funding for every Pi Phi program, your gifts to our Foundation ensure the values, traditions and shared experiences that define Pi Phi sisterhood will be shared with more women today and for years to come.

Leadership

All Pi Phi leadership development opportunities — from College Weekend and the Leadership Development Consultant program to Pi Beta Phi Leadership Institute and Leading with Values® — are supported by our Foundation.

Literacy

Gifts to our Foundation in support of literacy play a critical role in the success of Pi Phi’s Read > Lead > Achieve® initiatives, inspiring a lifelong love of reading. All Pi Phi literacy programs are fully funded by grants from our Foundation.

Housing

The opportunity to learn and grow together with sisters comes once in a lifetime. Through Educational Area Grant Program and Chapter House Improvement Program funds, our Foundation helps create housing that supports a premier member experience.

Scholarships

More than 120 Pi Beta Phi collegians and alumnae receive academic scholarships from our Foundation each year. These scholarships help women achieve their academic goals, preparing them to be leaders in Pi Phi and their communities.

Emma Harper Turner Fund

By providing confidential grants to members in critical need, the Emma Harper Turner Fund is a lifeline to sisters facing financial crises stemming from life-changing circumstances.

Heritage

 Pi Beta Phi’s treasured legacy of friendship, leadership and Lifelong Commitment began more than 150 years ago. Foundation grants supporting Holt House help preserve our heritage for future generations of Pi Phi sisters.
