The Importance of Unrestricted Funds

Unrestricted gifts of any size are vital to the Foundation because the Board of Trustees may apply these funds to the areas of greatest need. These funds provide necessary flexibility and are critical to the day-to-day operations of the Foundation.

Because of unrestricted funds, we are able to continue to administer and sustain our worthy programs. For Example: Cori* was an officer in her Gamma Phi Beta chapter and loved being a member. When her father became physically disabled and unable to work, she made every effort to stay on top of her financial commitments. Her Gamma Phi Beta sisters helped, but due to an increased work schedule, she was unable to keep up with her office responsibilities and had to step down as an officer. When her housing bills and chapter expenses got behind, Cori felt it was necessary to resign. She was considering leaving school in order to help her family at home when, thanks to caring advisors, the Foundation learned about her situation. Unrestricted gifts from the Foundation provided Cori a grant-in-aid to help her stay in school.

Giving From Our Hearts for 50 Years

The Foundation's 50th Anniversary celebration began at Convention 2008 and will continue through Convention 2010. Our goal, as we look forward to our next 50 years, is for 50% of our members to make a gift to the Foundation.

A strong Foundation ensures that Gamma Phi Beta will remain a premiere sisterhood organization in the future. Our sisters' grateful success stories serve as our inspiration. We have heard many times, "I learned that you are never alone when you are a Gamma Phi Beta!"

The Gamma Phi Beta Foundation exists to provide funding to the Sorority for leadership programs, our international philanthropy - camping for girls, and financial aid to our exceptional sisters in need.
