Bequests or other similar gifts allow you to give back in a way that is meaningful to you, and also can help you prepare for your future. For more information on a legacy gift giving strategy, please contact  Lisa Swiontek, Foundation executive director. The Horizon Society honors those who have designated a gift in their estate plans to the Sigma Kappa Foundation.

Members who are 72 or older can benefit by donating their Individual Retirement Account RMDs to a qualified charitable organization; it’s a win/win for the donor and the organization.  Generally, distributions are counted as taxable income, but by donating them directly to the charitable organization, they are excluded from personal income. Please consult your tax professional for advice and then contact  Lisa Swiontek, Foundation executive director, to coordinate the donation of funds.

Gifts of appreciated securities enable you to make a significant contribution while avoiding capital gains taxes on the donated shares. Please contact  Lisa Swiontek, Foundation executive director,to set up the gift. 

Endowment gifts provide a lasting source of support for Sigma Kappa and its members. By creating an endowment, you can pay tribute to a loved one or honor your own Sigma Kappa experience. These funds are managed by the Foundation and require a minimum amount, currently $25,000 to establish. 

Many chapters have established endowments.  If your chapter has an established fund, you can contribute directly to that fund; however, if an endowment has not been created, we can help establish one.  

There are several types of scholarships and grants you may create as an endowed fund. Examples include:

• Academic scholarships for members
• Funding for educational leadership programming
• Emergency grants for members

For additional information contact  Lisa Swiontek, Foundation executive director.

Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms have fundraising features which allow users to organize fundraisers to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, etc.  These platforms do not provide donor information to the beneficiary (neither about the host nor the supporters).  In an effort that we may recognize your contribution, we ask that if you set up a fundraiser, please notify the Foundation at  foundation@sigmakappa.org.  

Gifts may be made in honor or memory of a sister, family member or loved one.
