Welcome to the Phi Delta Epsilon Medical Foundation
With the assistance of the Phi Delta Epsilon Foundation, our Fraternity has entered its second century as a growing, dynamic organization. Only with the help of members like you can we continue our Aaron Brown and William Gelfand lecture series, as well as other educational programs which benefit our medical school and premedical members.
A Board of Directors, composed of past presidents of Phi Delta Epsilon governs the Foundation. Its purpose is to advance the Mission and Goals of Phi Delta Epsilon International Medical Fraternity.
A 10-member board of directors governs the Foundation. Its charge is to develop long-range plans, establish and review policies, monitor performance of investment managers, provide a fiduciary responsibility to donors and promote giving opportunities.
However you choose to support the Medical Foundation, you will be embarking on a partnership with world’s foremost Medical Fraternity. Your gift can make the difference in a promising student's ability to realize his or her dream of a quality medical education and will support the professional development of members through international events and educational programs.
