Foundation

The Sigma Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation facilitates our alumni and friends’ generous support of the Fraternity through scholarships, leadership programs, and best-in-class living-learning communities. Through the incredible generosity of our alumni, donors, and friends, the Foundation awards more than $3 million each year in grants and scholarships to support the work of the Fraternity, its undergraduate members, and its alumni and volunteer leaders. The Educational Foundation manages both endowed and non-endowed funds, which provide support at the national and chapter levels. 

For questions or more information about making a gift, please contact the Foundation at 804.353.1901 or email us at foundation@sigep.net. Please consider making an electronic gift due to Richmond's extended USPS delivery times.

To request a disbursement from an AVC fund, please complete the form on mysigep.org. Instructions on how to request funds can be found here.

For information about establishing a fund, strategizing fundraising support for your local chapter, or if you are interested in including SigEp in your estate or long-term planning, please contact Executive Director of Advancement Ben Rose.
