CAPITAL CAMPAIGN GIVING

The board of the Xi SAM/Fenway Alumni Corporation is starting a Capital Campaign to raise $100,000 to help cover essential work done at 34 the Fenway. We have pledged to match the first $30,000 in donations and we hope that you will give through one of these ways:

  1. Donate online to the Capital Campaign through our Zeffy campaign page (https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/fenway-capital-campaign--2025).

  2. Send a check made out to Xi SAM/Fenway Alumni Corporation to: Xi SAM/Fenway Alumni Corporation; c/o Marc Tanner, Treasurer; 7 Spencer Ave; Somerville MA 02144

  3. Donate to the IRDF fund (https://giving.mit.edu/irdf). Donations made during the Capital Campaign will be made available to us via a Major Project Grant, which we will use towards paying off the IRDF loan for the fire alarm system. Before donating to the IRDF, please make sure your Infinite Connection profile lists either Fenway House or Sigma Alpha Mu so the donation is credited to us! We also ask that you let us know that you are donating to the IRDF on our behalf by filling out this simple form: https://forms.gle/HfGCqXaxE4WP7Tpg6

Notes:

Donations to the IRDF are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. 90% of your IRDF donation will be made available to us via a Major Project Grant; 10% will be retained by the IRDF to support programs for the greater FSILG community. Donations to the Alumni Corporation are not generally tax deductible, as we are a 501(c)7 non-profit (this may vary for state taxes depending on your state’s tax code).

To set your living group in your Profile: Log onto the Infinite Connection (https://alum.mit.edu/login), go to the My Account dropdown at the upper right and select Edit Profile. Then pick the MIT tab (between Work and Volunteer) and scroll down to Living Groups. If there is nothing listed (or it is wrong), click the pencil icon and you can select Fenway House or Sigma Alpha Mu from the drop-down menu. You may have multiple living groups listed, which is fine; by filling out the form to let us know of your donation, we’ll be able to notify the IRDF that the donation is meant for us.
