Services of Foundation

The money raised by the Sigma Lambda Beta Educational Foundation is used mainly for the purpose of funding educational and leadership development programs for Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity, as well as for financial assistance of our undergraduate and graduate student members.

Following are ways we have provided this support to our brotherhood:

SLBEF Grants
In 2007, The Sigma Lambda Beta Educational Foundation started a grant program which allows brothers to apply for funds to help offset costs of their on-campus programs. These programs must meet the following criteria:
  • Programs must contain educational, intellectual, cultural or professional development programming.
  • Preference for programs that take place on campus.
  • Programs must be non-alcoholic in nature.
  • Programs must not be fundraising by nature.
  • All groups must have an advisor helping with the program.
  • All groups must agree to provide the SLBEF with pictures and a write-up of the event within a week after its completion.
  • Quality of application (complete, clear, detailed, well written).
  • Evidence of sound financial planning and a realistic marketing plan.
  • In general, grant awards will not support full funding of any program. Applicants must demonstrate efforts to secure funding beyond this grant program. Exceptions can be made to this on a case-by-case basis.
If your SLB group is holding an event and would like to apply for a grant from the Sigma Lambda Beta Educational Foundation, you will need to review the eligibility criteria and submit a completed grant application form to grants@slbfoundation.com.
