There are several ways to support the Phi Sigma Kappa Gamma Tetarton Chapter, from a direct credit card gift to tax-advantaged donations through RPI or the national foundation. Find the path that works best for you below.
Direct Donation
The most flexible option. Direct donations to the Alumni Association have the fewest restrictions on use, making them the most effective for capital improvements and ongoing chapter support.
Note: PSKAA is not a 501(c)(3). Direct donations are not tax-deductible. See the options below if you need a tax deduction.

Tax-Deductible Options
If a tax deduction matters to you, these two paths route your gift through recognized 501(c)(3) organizations while still supporting the chapter’s capital and educational goals.
Grand Chapter CEF — Chapter Education Fund
Money donated through this fund can only be used for educational purposes. Portions of the chapter house designated as educational spaces (study room, library) qualify, so a percentage of donated funds can support improvements, operations, and maintenance of these areas.
This is a good option if you want to support the Capital Improvement Plan through a 501(c)(3). Important: you must select the correct fund on the donation form or your gift will not reach our chapter.
Before you donate, read carefully:
- Click the donate button below to open the GoFundMe campaign page.
- Choose your donation amount and proceed to the form.
- When prompted “Would you like to designate these funds?”, open the dropdown and select “RPI Gamma Tetarton CEF” as shown in the image below. This step is required to credit our chapter.
Select “RPI Gamma Tetarton CEF” from the fund designation dropdown before completing your donation.
Phi Sigma Kappa Chapter Support Fund — via RPI
A dedicated account established in partnership with Rensselaer for fraternities in good standing with the Institute. Supports student and chapter development through awards, scholarships, leadership programs, and educational space improvements.
Donations are fully tax-deductible, count toward your lifetime giving to RPI, and may be eligible for corporate matching, a great way to multiply your gift.
Support Our Community Programs
These donations support our ongoing charitable work and cannot be used for capital improvements to the house.
Mount Ida Community Grant Program
A micro-grant program established when the chapter moved into 316 Congress Street in 2011, supporting the growth and improvement of the Mt. Ida neighborhood. Donations are processed through TAP Inc, a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
Before you donate, read carefully:
- Click the link below to open the TAP Inc donation page and click DONATE NOW.
- In the dropdown, select “Other – please leave description in notes section”.
- In the notes section write: “PSK Mt Ida Community Grant Program” — required to credit our program.
