Chapter Philanthropy

Philanthropy: Voluntarily giving financial or human resources to promote the common good.

The Sigma Theta Tau International Foundation for Nursing Board of Directors and its Chapter Philanthropy Education Committee are providing the following Chapter Philanthropy Resource Guide to assist chapters in developing and implementing their own philanthropy plan. We believe that philanthropy, as defined above, is something that all chapters can achieve no matter their size. The beauty of philanthropy is that it can be designed to fit your community’s needs and your members’ capabilities. We invite you to use the online resource to instill or refresh the spirit of philanthropy in your chapter and its members.
