Dear Sisters and Friends:
We began the year with an incredibly generous unrestricted bequest from the Arthur J. Sagle Family Trust in honor of his mother, Maud Tachell Sagle, Eta Beta. With nearly $534,300 directed into funds that support academic scholarships, leadership and educational programming and more, the impact of this gift on Phi Mu women will be felt for years to come.
When the pandemic hit the U.S. hard in March, the Foundation was in the middle of our largest Annual Fund effort, the M3 Campaign. We knew our communities and Phi Mu sisters were facing unprecedented times and that our members needed us now more than ever. We expanded the impact of the M3 Campaign to support Member Assistance Funds and help support sisters who had been impacted by COVID-19. The second turning point in strategy was made in preparation of virtual Convention when we launched the Caring Carnations campaign to support the Fraternity’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work and later, the Board of Trustees voted to direct $25,000 in unrestricted funds to establishing the first-ever Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Fund.
While we have faced extraordinary circumstances this fiscal year, it was your generosity and loyalty to the Foundation that allowed us to respond to the pressing needs of our members when they needed it the most. Looking ahead, the needs of our members will continue to grow, which is why you’ll begin to hear more from us in the coming months about our plan to increase our capacity to serve our members through the next campaign for Phi Mu.
We’re excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and together with your steadfast commitment to Phi Mu Foundation, we will continue to make an incredible difference in the lives of Phi Mu women.

the critical role these scholarships play in women receiving their education. Whether it’s to help an undergraduate
woman cut back on her hours at work this semester or to help a medical student reduce the amount of loans she’ll have
to take out that semester, Phi Mu Foundation scholarships are helping women reach their highest potential.
