Ensuring Pi Beta Phi’s Future

The Fraternity / Foundation relationship is a synergistic one. Not only is the Fraternity the basis of our existence, but they are fundamental to Foundation success. Conversely, the Foundation is fundamental to Fraternity success. It makes good sense that a large part of the Foundation’s mission is achieved through grants to the Fraternity. Here are some examples of mission critical Fraternity grants that have been funded by the Foundation:
