The fundamental purpose of the Sigma Chi fraternity is the cultivation, maintenance and accomplishment of the ideals of friendship, justice and learning within our membership.

The Sigma Chi Canadian Foundation was formed by Canadian Sigma Chi Alumni as a registered charitable foundation to provide a tax-effective way for Canadian Sigs to support the educational pursuits of all Canadian Active Chapters. Charitable tax receipts will be issued for donations, which will be used for qualifying educational purposes.

Our mission is to strengthen Sigma Chi in Canada. The Foundation exists as a vehicle for local Active Chapters, Alumni Chapters and/or House Corporations to raise tax-deductible funds for educational purposes – primarily for the benefit of Active Chapters and Active brothers. Direct, individual donations to either Endowment or Current Funds are encouraged and are tax-deductible.

Core Values, Vision & Mission

Sigma Chi’s core values are friendship, justice and learning.

Our vision is to become the preeminent collegiate leadership development organization – aligned, focused and living our core values.

Our mission is to develop values-based leaders committed to the betterment of character, campus and community.

Membership in Sigma Chi involves both service-oriented activities as well as social bonding for its members. Sigma Chi’s suggested beneficiaries for chapter community service projects are the Children’s Miracle Network and the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Since 1992 Sigma Chi chapters have raised more than $4.2 million dollars for area CMN hospitals and devoted thousands of hours of service to CMN affiliates. The Huntsman Cancer Institute was added as another beneficiary in 2005. In the 2005-06 academic year, Sigma Chi raised $473,757.43 for the Children’s Miracle Network, as well as $55,244.63 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Funding

Where donations are not designated to a particular fund by the donor, they will be allocated at the discretion of the directors – to either the General Fund, or to a chapter-specific Endowment or Current Fund.

Donations to all Funds will be invested in secure investment funds, with the annual income available to be distributed for qualified educational purposes.
