Philanthropic Events
Pi Beta Phi has partnered with memberplanet to provide an online, one stop shop for customizing club philanthropy events pages, with additional social media marketing tools, broadcast and reporting features to make your club philanthropy events a success. And no more collecting checks! Philanthropy event registration is paid online via the club philanthropy events page or mobile app. All proceeds are directly deposited to the club’s bank account when the event closes. Once philanthropy events proceeds have been received, the club would follow Pi Beta Phi recommended donation procedures. Deduct all event expenses from total proceeds, before donating the NET amount raised to the Pi Beta Phi Foundation, utilizing the appropriate FT-2 Contribution Form to indicate the club’s desired designation.
IMPORTANT: All payments made to participate in club philanthropic events are NOT tax deductible. If participants would like to donate an additional amount to Pi Beta Phi Foundation that IS tax deductible go to the Foundation Donation Page. In the navigation menu hover over Alumnae > Alumnae Tools > Foundation Donations to learn more.
Using memberplanet your club will be able to market your philanthropic efforts for the following funds, utilizing a basic template that Pi Beta Phi has provided with the minimum necessary language regarding tax deductibility.
Funds: Friendship Fund, The Literacy Fund, The Literacy Fund with a Local Impact Grant, Emma Harper Turner Fund or the Holt House Fund.
