THANK YOU FOR A RECORD YEAR!

State of the Foundation

Reynold R. Hagel, President, Phi Kappa Sigma Foundation, Alpha Upsilon (Washington) ‘80

Our Phi Kappa Sigma Foundation continues to flourish amidst the current global economic downturn.  Similar to how our campus fraternity houses, experiences and friendships during our college years provided us with safe havens and platforms from which we could excel, the money raised through the Foundation provides growth platforms for our undergraduate Brothers through ongoing support of  the International Fraternity’s educational and leadership programs.

Your support this past year enabled the Foundation to maintain our full economic support to our undergraduate Brothers.  Fifty four scholarships were awarded to deserving members totaling $60,000.  Another $32,000 of support went to the leadership-building Men of Honor Program, with more funds also going toward the Scepter Mentoring Program and UIFI scholarships.
 

The Foundation is a charitable IRS 501(c)(3) organization which is run by a Board made up of Brothers serving on a 100% voluntary basis.  Through their gifts of time and treasure these alumni are giving back to our glorious fraternity in order to continue our tradition of providing lifelong benefits to our Brothers.  Our charitable status provides you with a direct pipeline through which you can donate back on a tax deductible basis.  Your donation will then continue through the pipeline to the direct benefit of our undergraduate members.  You will receive a receipt for each donation and should expect a personal thank you letter from me for every donation of $100 or more.  We will name a lifetime scholarship in your honor for a $5,000 donation.  We can also honor your name with a guaranteed annual scholarship in perpetuity for a donation of $15,000 or more.
 

I have always been truly amazed at the lifelong relationships I forged through my undergraduate Chapter years.  My best friend and inner circle of friends are all known as uncles to my children, some are Godfathers, as am I to their kids.  While we sometimes think it is a bit scary our kids know all of our college nicknames, we remain confident in our common bond of secrecy and loyalty they will not find out exactly how those names were actually earned.
 

While our commitment to serve on the Foundation Board can at times be quite challenging, we are rewarded through both our shared sense of fulfillment and through the greater reach we have to form deep bonds of friendship with Brothers we may have never met otherwise.  If you have gifts to share, act on your impulse to look into involvement on the Foundation Board by contacting me directly or reaching out to Phi Kappa Sigma Headquarters.  We are thankful for your support in helping us strengthen our fraternity.
