About Phi Mu Foundation
Founded in 1957 as a general welfare corporation with tax-exempt status, Phi Mu Foundation exists to provide Phi Mu members and friends an opportunity to give back to Phi Mu through charitable, tax-exempt gifts. Led by an eight-member elected governing body, the Board of Trustees, the Foundation is dedicated to serving the needs of the growing Fraternity and to provide opportunities that enrich the lives of our sisters. Phi Mu Fraternity and Phi Mu Foundation partner to provide all Phi Mu sisters with a rewarding and fulfilling Phi Mu experience – an experience that upholds Phi Mu’s values and purpose.
Established by Phi Mu’s visionary leadership nearly 60 years ago, Phi Mu Foundation was one of the first educational and philanthropic foundations created by a National Panhellenic Conference member organization. Phi Mu Foundation continues to build upon the success of forward-thinking founders by expanding the support to Phi Mu Fraternity’s educational, leadership, and philanthropic efforts in new and innovative ways that directly benefit members. With each new donor, Phi Mu Foundation grows stronger and with each dollar raised, a sister’s experience is positively impacted. The continued support of loyal donors helps strengthen our sisterhood while we simultaneously reinvest in the sisters of today and tomorrow.

Phi Mu Foundation's Purpose
Why establish a charitable Foundation separate from the Fraternity?
- To offer Phi Mu members and friends the opportunity of tax advantages for gifts benefiting Phi Mu.
- To establish and manage funds that permanently endow scholarships and other established funds.
- To solely concentrate on fundraising activities and the stewardship of donors.
- To fund and oversee the collection and preservation of Phi Mu’s history.
- To allow the opportunity for Phi Mu sisters to help one another through emergency scholarships and financial assistance to members in need.
- To promote annual and capital campaigns, including the $4 million capital campaign to build Phi Mu’s National Headquarters in Peachtree City, Georgia.
