SAI Philanthropies is my favorite charity!

We honor your commitment to music and Sigma Alpha Iota. You have made it possible for SAI to fulfill the vision of her seven Founders for over 100 years. Certainly there have been changes through the years.

But through all the changes, one thing remains the same: SAI ’s commitment to serving our members, as well as musicians all over the world, through our scholarships, grants and special projects. Our foundation, Sigma Alpha Iota Philanthropies, Inc., is the vehicle for providing the necessary funding, and we are asking that you make a personal commitment with a contribution again this year.

Through Impact Grants and Chapter Outreach Grants, our chapters across the nation have a wide-reaching impact on people in all sizes of communities, from young children to college students to professional musicians.

We know that your continued support will allow these projects and scholarships to continue to grow and succeed. A personal contribution adds your name to the Symphony Society for this year. A list of annual donors is displayed on a plaque near a beautiful mural at National Headquarters and appears in Pan Pipes.

We thank you for your past gifts and we look forward to seeing your name in the current roster of members who believe in the mission of Sigma Alpha Iota. Please send in your contribution today.

With thanks,

Jessica Chichester, Ph.D
National President

 

PAN'S LEGACY

The Board of Sigma Alpha Iota Philanthropies, Inc. has a planned giving initiative, PAN'S LEGACY. This is SAI's way of recognizing a special group of people who have documented inclusion of Sigma Alpha Iota in their estate plan.

By making a gift to SAI Philanthropies through your estate, you can provide perpetual support for future projects designed to carry out the ideals of SAI. The scholarships and grants that are awarded to individuals and music institutions create ongoing inspiration for the next generation of musicians and teachers, and your gift will make that possible. All donors making a documented commitment in their estates are entitled to PAN’S LEGACY membership.

There is a special display mural at National Headquarters. Names of those who have left a legacy to SAI Philanthropies, Inc. are permanently displayed (Download the current catalog of names here). Inquiries about this program and requests for a packet to be used in documenting your gift may be directed to SAI Philanthropies, Inc. through National Headquarters:
