SDX Chapter Scholarship Fund: Gifts to SPJ and local chapters are not considered charitable contributions and, thus, are not deductible. Only 501(c)(3) charitable organizations — like the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation — can offer donors a tax deduction. Recognizing this as an opportunity to add real value to the SPJ experience, the SDX Foundation board of directors is announcing a unique program to allow chapters to create their own special "account" within the foundation. Find out how your chapter can benefit.
