  • 1.  IRS Regulations - Greek Organizations

    Posted 10-03-2022 10:16 AM

    Greetings to All,

     

    We have a donor who wants to establish a named fund that will benefit all students, but would like to name the fund after a fraternity. We want to try to honor donor intent in a prominent way that does not violate IRS rules around charitable giving to social clubs if possible.

     

    Does anyone have suggestions?

     

    Many thanks in advance.

    As long as the scholarship is not limited to members of a specific fraternity and is given to the University and not the fraternity, you can name the scholarship whatever you want (as long as it adheres to University Naming Protocols).

    But I am not sure why you would want to give the scholarship in the name of a fraternity.  It seems to me that would cause general confusion among those who might apply.  But, again, there's nothing improper with this suggestion.
