Leadership Through Service Fund (A Teach For America Initiative Fund) The fund for those who want to support Phi Sigma Pi's efforts in advancing the mission of our national philanthropy, Teach For America. This is the ideal fund for those who want to support Phi Sigma Pi in its effort to provide greater educational opportunities for students in our nation's most disadvantaged communities.

Support Phi Sigma Pi's initiatives to close the gap on educational inequities.

In 2003 the Grand Chapter approved the establishment of the Fraternity's national philanthropy, Teach For America (TFA). Phi Sigma Pi and TFA are committed to providing greater educational opportunities for students in our nation's most disadvantaged communities. Phi Sigma Pi began at a Teacher's College and was a fraternity for teachers. Pledging to provide financial support for TFA seemed like a great way to return to our roots, honor those who founded Phi Sigma Pi, and reestablish our commitment to education. Partnering with TFA seemed like a natural fit.

When you support The Teach For America Fund your gift strengthens the movement to eliminate educational inequity by enlisting some of our nation's most promising future leaders in the effort. The Brothers of Phi Sigma Pi are among those future leaders and they are wholeheartedly committed to the future of our nation's children.

Your gift can also provide needed resources for the Backpack Attack Program where Alumni and Collegiate Brothers gather new school supplies and pack up backpacks to be sent to Teach For America classrooms throughout the United States. Ultimately, when you commit your gift to The Teach For America Fund you are committing to improving the education and future of disadvantaged children throughout the nation.

Subrosa "Brother-in-Need" Fund The fund for those who want to help a Phi Sigma Pi Brother who is facing a financial hardship due to natural disaster, medical expenses or other extenuating difficulties. It is a way to unite and show support when "one of our own" is facing a difficult situation.

Lend a helping hand to a Brother facing an extraordinary financial hardship.

Everyone needs a little extra help sometimes. In some cases, extraordinary circumstances create extraordinary hardships. It is during these times of extraordinary hardship when Brothers reach out to Brothers to lend support during a difficult situation. Grants from The Subrosa "Brother-in-Need" Fund assist Brothers facing financially challenging times due to natural disaster, medical expenses or other extenuating hardships.

Established in 1999, the name was derived from The Ritual explanation that ceremonies held in "Subrosa", or "under the rose", are secret. Because the rose represents an ancient symbol of secrecy, monies given to a Brother through this fund are not revealed to the membership. Rest assured, however, that when you support The Subrosa Fund your gift is a helping hand for someone in need. When you provide your tax-deductible donation to this fund you are supporting "one of our own", specifically, one of our Brothers who is facing a difficult financial situation. Consider this a great way to offer a little extra help to someone at a time when your support will really make a difference in their lives.

The Jeff and Kim Johnson Existence and Expansion Endowment Fund The fund for those who want to invest in the creation of new chapters, prevent existing chapters from going inactive, and ensure the entire fraternity has the financial resources available to weather economic, geopolitical or natural disasters.

Champion a financial safety net to protect, enhance and strengthen our Brotherhood for years to come.

There is always the potential for future economic catastrophes, widespread natural disasters and even war. Any of these events could force some or all of our chapters to go inactive or cause the National Office to cease operations once again. Phi Sigma Pi is not prepared for this. Our fraternity needs to be fiscally able to endure and/or rebuild after such devastating events.

There is no guarantee that a strong local chapter will remain that way forever. The strong chapter of today may become the weak chapter or inactive chapter of tomorrow. All Brothers want to see their chapters weather the occasional tough patches and survive indefinitely. Our fraternity needs a dedicated source of funding to ensure that all chapters needing special support during difficult times get that support from the National Office.

There will be ongoing benefits as our fraternity seizes the opportunity to create new chapters through continued expansion. It's simple math. More chapters mean more opportunities. Everyone benefits when the fraternity reaches out and brings new schools into the organization. There are still well over 100 additional colleges and universities across the country that could support a chapter of Phi Sigma Pi. Our fraternity needs a dedicated source of funding to ensure that we can continue to aggressively pursue our Founders' dream of extending the Phi Sigma Pi opportunity across the nation.

The Jeff and Kim Johnson Existence and Expansion Endowment Fund was established in 2007 through the generosity of two alumni Brothers, former National President Jeff Johnson and his wife Kim. Your contribution helps make Phi Sigma Pi stronger through protecting the fraternity from future risks, providing support for chapters struggling to survive and enriching the fraternity through ongoing growth and expansion to new colleges and universities. When you provide your tax-deductible donation to this fund you are helping to build a safety net to protect and enhance our organization and its members for years to come. Your gift is a legacy of strength for the future. Contributions to this fund are the most direct and effective way to ensure that future generations of Brothers encounter an even more robust and rewarding Phi Sigma Pi experience. Consider this a great way to ensure your fraternity survives and prospers nationally, an ideal way to spread the experience you valued to others and a fantastic way to give back to something you care about.

The Torchia Capital Fund The fund for those who want to invest in the ongoing ability of the National Headquarters facility to meet the needs required to support the vibrant health of our Brotherhood. Additionally, this fund is ideal for those wishing to pay tribute to the rich legacy, achievements, and contributions of Joseph Torchia.

Invest in the ability of the National Headquarters facility to support the vibrant health of our Brotherhood.

Although Phi Sigma Pi became a national organization in 1921, it would be another 71 years until it had a National Headquarters facility to call its own. For seven decades the "nerve center" of the fraternity moved from home to home of each newly elected National Secretary. In 1991, this long journey came to an end when the Fraternity purchased a three-story row house in the city of Lancaster, PA to serve as its office. In 1996, after five years of tremendous growth and expansion, the fraternity completed construction on its current spacious and multi-functional National Headquarters in the suburbs of Lancaster, PA.

In 2007, Dorothy Torchia, wife of the late Joseph Torchia, died. The National Headquarters of Phi Sigma Pi subsequently received a gift of $10,000 from their estate which established The Torchia Capital Fund. Not only does this gift have the distinction of being the first recorded bequest ever received by the Fraternity, but ironically it was given in support of a National Headquarters facility that Mr. Torchia had longed for during his 20 years as National Secretary. Mr. Torchia’s outstanding contributions, years of service, and dedication to Phi Sigma Pi made him a beloved Brother who is credited with navigating the Fraternity through some of its most challenging and darkest days.

When you support The Torchia Capital Fund your gift celebrates the results of a seven decade journey to establish a permanent National Headquarters facility for our organization. Your contribution helps maintain, adapt and insure the safety of the primary operational, communication and archival center of our Fraternity. When you provide your tax-deductible donation to this fund you are helping to ensure that the National Headquarters facility continues to serve our organization and its members for years to come. Additionally, your gift is a tribute to the years of service and stewardship Mr. Joseph Torchia unselfishly gave to our Fraternity.

Build strong leaders and promote "the full Phi Sigma Pi experience" by helping Brothers participate in the educational and leadership initiatives offered at national events.

The Phi Sigma Pi experience is a local, regional and national experience. Many Brothers never experience anything other than their collegiate chapter activities and events. These Brothers miss out on wonderful opportunities to learn, interact and make lasting friendships at the regional and national levels. They also miss out on beneficial educational training and programming that occurs at these events.
