Nonprofit Organization Management - Evanston, Illinois, United States
Helping SAEs realize their educational and leadership goals through programs and scholarships; while also maintaining the Levere Memorial Temple.Established in 1927 as the Levere Memorial Foundation, the nonprofit corporation of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was created to generate funds for the construction and maintenance of the Levere Memorial Temple and its artifacts; to establish and grant scholarships to deserving undergraduate and graduate brothers; and to "receive funds, donations, bequests, legacies, endowments, and gifts, both real and personal for the furtherance of the objects and purposes of the Foundation." It was not until eight years later, when John O. Moseley organized the first Leadership School in 1935, that the Foundation began raising private funds to defray costs of educational Fraternity events. Presently, in addition to preparing undergraduate SAEs to be future community, corporate, and government leaders both in the United States and abroad by co-funding the John O. Moseley Leadership School, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation also funds the True Gentleman Initiative, annual scholarships, and operates and maintains the Levere Memorial Temple in Evanston, IL.
