Founders' Day of Giving 2023
Consider donating on our first Founders’ Day of Giving to support Alpha Kappa Psi members and honor 119 years of developing principled business leaders. Our Founders had the foresight to create an organization focused on appreciating and demanding higher ideals in business, a focus needed now more than ever.
Since our founding, AKPsi has evolved into an international organization of 180 collegiate chapters and more than 230,000 living members. Each day, our members live the teachings of the Fraternity to positively impact our businesses, communities, and universities globally.
Consider the impact AKPsi has had on your life and honor that impact on the day of our founding.

Is this donation tax deductible?
Alpha Kappa Psi Foundation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization and your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. To claim a donation as a deduction on your U.S. taxes, please keep your email donation receipt as your official record. We’ll send it to you upon successful completion of your donation.
Will my donation count towards my annual and lifetime giving?
Yes! All donations apply to your total giving for the current fiscal year, ending June 30, 2024, and to your lifetime giving.
Can I designate my donation to a collegiate chapter?
Yes. You can designate what you would like your donation to support by answering the question, “What would you like your donation to support?” on the donation form. If you do not see a chapter’s educational grant listed, begin typing the Greek name (ex. Alpha). The True Blue Annual Fund is an undesignated fund that allows the Foundation to remain flexible and meet needs as they arise.
