You would love to make a substantial financial commitment to the Foundation, however, you are just not in a position to give as much as you’d like … SOUND FAMILIAR? Did you know that there some creative ways to support the Foundation? Here are a few ideas that our donors have shared with us. Please feel free to e-mail your ideas on other creative ways to give!
Company Matching Gifts
Many companies will match gifts that their employees make to charities. Your company will provide a matching form that you can fill out and send directly to our Foundation with your gift. We take care of the rest! This is a great way to increase your support!

Think Outside of the Wedding Favor Box
Forget the pastel colored almonds, the newest trend in wedding favors is charitable giving! In lieu of traditional favors, couples are making donations in honor of their guests. It’s a fabulous way for the bride and groom to make a difference and leave a personal mark on their big day… and don’t forget, if couples choose an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) organization, like the Pi Beta Phi Foundation, it’s also tax deductible.
