The Phi Tang Award celebrates balance, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence as a way of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Phi Tang Foundation currently operates as a grassroots, community-based program and has not yet been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. As a result, contributions made at this time are not tax-deductible for federal income tax purposes. We are actively fundraising to cover the costs associated with filing for 501(c)(3) status, which will allow us to expand our programs and offer tax-exempt giving in the future. All donations are used to support our mission and community initiatives, though tax deductibility cannot be guaranteed until IRS approval is received.

  • Donations to The Phi Tang Foundation are distributed across our programs and community initiatives based on current needs, including Food with Phriends, our food insecurity support program, as well as mental health advocacy, outreach efforts, and other community-based projects. When programs do not have active events or immediate funding needs, contributions are directed by default to support the Phi Tang Award Scholarship, ensuring continued investment in student achievement and Phi’s lasting legacy.
