Welcome to the Phi Delta Epsilon Medical Foundation

With the assistance of the Phi Delta Epsilon Foundation, our Fraternity has entered its second century as a growing, dynamic organization. Only with the help of members like you can we continue our Aaron Brown and William Gelfand lecture series, as well as other educational programs which benefit our medical school and pre-medical members.

Our Foundation offers a variety of opportunities through financial gifts to the Fraternity's educational activities and provides much needed resources to premedical and medical chapters. Its purpose is to advance the educational Mission and Goals of Phi Delta Epsilon International Medical Fraternity.

A 10-member board of directors governs the Foundation. Its charge is to develop long-range plans, establish and review policies, monitor performance of investment managers, provide a fiduciary responsibility to donors and promote giving opportunities.

However you choose to support the Medical Foundation, you will be embarking on a partnership with World’s Foremost Medical Fraternity. Your gift can make the difference in a promising student's ability to realize his or her dream of a quality medical education and will support the professional development of members through international events and educational programs.

The Foundation invites you to consider leaving a legacy for future members of Phi Delta Epsilon. This type of planned gift can have specific tax advantages and can include lifetime income to a beneficiary or beneficiaries named by the donor through a will. Medical Foundation donors can utilize planned giving methods and enjoy the benefits today: capital gains tax savings, increased income, and income tax savings, to name a few. A planned gift maximizes your giving potential and can even allow you to ensure your financial security or that of a loved one.
