Does my gift really make a difference?

Your gift to the Foundation is the most direct and effective way to ensure the continuing success of Phi Sigma Kappa. Every contribution strenghthens our ability to serve our chapters and enhance the leadership training, academic scholarships and educational housing that we can provide to our undergraduate members.

Are online donations safe and secure?
Yes, your online donation is secure. When making a contribution using the online giving page, be sure to look for the "s" (which stands for secure) after "http" in the web address bar at the top of the online giving page and the image of a padlock in the bottom right-hand corner of your browser.

Can I increase my support by having my company match my gift?
Yes! If your employer participates in a matching gift program you may be able to increase your Foundation gift by double or triple the size of your personal contribution. Simply forward your company's matching gift form to the Foundation along with your gift.

What are the benefits of making a gift of stock?
There are two distinct tax benefits that occur when a donor makes a gift of stock. First, you are able to avoid the capital gains taxes that would normally be paid on stocks that have appreciated in value, currently 15%). Second, you are allowed to deduct the full fair market value of the gift on your taxes for that year, providing you have owned the stock for more than one year.

Stocks can be transferred electronically from your brokerage account or can be sent through the mail if held in certificate form. Please see our instructions on how to transfer or contact the Foundation at 317/573-5420 or foundation@phisigmakappa.org.

Does 100% of my gift go toward Phi Sigma Kappa?
100% of your donation goes directly to Phi Sigma Kappa. Your gift will allow Phi Sigma Kappa to continue our staff services, academic scholarships, and excellent leadership programs.

How can I suspend monthly/quarterly/annual automatic bank withdrawal?
If you previously requested to have a gift automatically withdrawn from a bank account and wish to cancel that option, please email the Foundation at foundation@phisigmakappa.org or call 317-573-5420. Please indicate that you wish to cancel your ACH bank withdrawal, and please allow 2-3 weeks for automatic withdrawals to be cancelled.

Are my donations 100% tax deductible?
Yes. All gifts to the Foundation are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. The Phi Sigma Kappa Foundation is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. You can view our IRS Form 990 and other financial information at www.guidestar.com.

Would you ever release my name or account information to other parties?
The Phi Sigma Kappa Foundation guarantees that we will not sell, share, rent, or trade your personal information.
