Phi Mu who referred you:

At the 1986 National Convention, the Fraternity adopted Children's Miracle Network (CMN) as its second national philanthropy. CMN's annual telethon, the Children's Miracle Network Telethon, has only one goal-- to improve the quality of life for children. Phi Mu Fraternity raised more than a quarter of a million dollars last year for CMN across the country. The money raised through chapter fund-raisers goes directly to the local hospital in the chapter's area. All money raised in the Houston area goes directly to support Hermann Children's Hospital in the Houston Medical Center. Founded by Osmond Foundation, a non-profit organization, the Telethon represents more than 160 specialized hospitals for children.

Ongoing Fundraisers

• Phoneraiser: Have an old phone you no longer need? Donate them for our phoneraiser! Most people have old cell phones lying around your house, not sure of how to dispose of them after they buy a new one.  This company will take your phone and reuse it in another market (after completely clearing out the data), and if they cannot (if it's broken or too old to refurbish) they'll recycle it properly according to state and federal EPA guidelines. And Charlotte Phi Mu will get paid for every phone, a great fundraiser for the chapter! Contact Tina Venus at tina@charlottephimu.org to donate you phone! http://www.phoneraiser.com/
  

• Community Service Book Fundraiser: The Community Service Book is a great book of entertainment savings. For a subscription fee of $15 you get access to 645 coupons and $5,883.15 in savings for fun dining and entertainment merchants. Plus, our organization keeps 50% of every subscription sold. Our goal is to raise $200.00 (or 2 subscriptions per member). http://www.charlottecsb.com/18060

The History of Phi Mu Foundation

Approved at the 1956 National Convention, Phi Mu Foundation was established to provide members a means by which to make tax-deductible gifts to benefit Phi Mu, its members and chapters. The incorporation was accomplished on February 26, 1957. By 1959 Phi Mu Foundation was granted 501(c)(3) status by the Internal Revenue Service and could accept tax exempt gifts from members and friends.
Today more than 13,000 collegians and alumnae are supporting members of the Phi Mu Foundation. Upon application, Phi Mu Foundation grants funds to the Fraternity for education, leadership, citizenship, philanthropic and scholastic purposes.
Commemorating our 40th Anniversary in 1997, Phi Mu Foundation encourages individuals and chapters to Celebrate Phi Mu with tax-deductible gifts. Your support ensures a bright future for Phi Mu.

Goals of Phi Mu Foundation

Education: Journey of a Woman, Gender Gap, career networking, academic excellence, educational articles and conducting overseas travel tours illustrate ways the Foundation assists the Fraternity and our membership through educational programs.

Leadership: Sending collegians to LeaderShape Institute, providing funding for the Adviser's Forum, recognizing outstanding leadership in Phi Programming and Philanthropy, and partial funding of training and salaries for Chapter Consultants who spend a portion of their time developing leadership and citizenship skills demonstrates how Phi Mu Foundation supports our membership's leadership endeavors.

Citizenship: Through Journey of a Woman our members are taught how to identify values, make decisions, set goals, manage time, develop healthy relationships, and meet challenges through the voyage from collegiate years to young adult, middle and mature years.

Scholarship: Each year Phi Mu Foundation offers over $95,000 in scholarships and loans to collegians and alumnae. Programs designed to raise grade point averages, grants for career programs, scholarship charms for high scholastic achievement, funding for educational speakers, and grants to chapter libraries are further examples of how Phi Mu Foundation recognizes and encourages academic achievement.

Philanthropy: The philanthropic objectives of Phi Mu Fraternity shall concern health care and education, with particular emphasis on health issues specific to women and/or children.
