Start a New Legacy
If your chapter does not yet have an active Chapter Educational Fund (CEF), you can lead the way in establishing one. Creating a CEF ensures that future generations of your chapter have the resources they need to thrive academically and professionally.
The Essentials:
Minimum to Establish: A commitment of $2,500 is required to open a new fund.
Flexible Funding: This can be established as a multi-year pledge, allowing an individual or a group of alumni to reach the goal over time.
Professional Management: Once established, the Foundation handles all tax receipts, auditing, and investment management so you can focus on the impact.

Accountability & Stewardship
Every Chapter Educational Fund (CEF) is professionally managed and audited by the Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation. As a 501(c)(3) public charity, we adhere to the highest standards of financial oversight to ensure full compliance with IRS regulations. We guarantee that all CEF contributions are restricted and used exclusively for their intended educational and leadership purposes, protecting the intent of every donor.
Want to Leave a Broader Legacy?
Supporting a single chapter is powerful, but you can also choose to protect the long-term future of our brotherhood.
