Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Gifts Continue To Climb

Over the last three years, the Foundation has experienced a dramatic increase in the number of EFT gifts.
Did you know that charitable gifts of marketable securities (individual stocks or mutual fund shares) provide two important benefits? The first is a charitable income tax deduction for the market value of the stock. The second is the avoidance of capital gains taxes since the shares are donated to charity.
The Fraternity Institutes The Helping Hand Initiative

In 2002, the 60th Grand Chapter charged the High Council with researching potential partnerships in order to establish an international philanthropy and week-of-service for Sigma Nu Fraternity. When the High Council reported its findings in 2004, they recommended to the 61st Grand Chapter that Sigma Nu Fraternity establish an international week-of-service and partnerships with four philanthropic and service organizations.

The partnerships include the following organizations:

CHARACTER COUNTS!
College Charity Bowl Foundation
Habitat-for-Humanity
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

The 61st Grand Chapter approved the establishment of all four partnerships and agreements, as well as the establishment of an international week-of-service, in resounding fashion. From the decisions made by the 61st Grand Chapter, The Helping Hand Initiative and the Founders' Week-of-Service were born.
