If you have an American Express Card, you may have gotten a "Double Reward Points for Donations to Charity" email lately. If you clicked on it you saw that you can search for virtually any charity you care to find and contribute to them online.
Before you routinely delete it, take a moment to note that this is a way to give to the Sigma Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation. We don't usually think of the Foundation as a "Charity", but it is a 501(c)(3) organization and donations are deductable (to the extend of law, blah, blah, blah).
Guidestar Charity Search for American Express
There are also a number of individual Chapters that have set up their own 501(c)(3) chariable organizations. Many of those organizations are also listed and can be found by searching for them by name. If your chapter has a local foundation it's probably here.
Want to check out the Guidestar organization or find out how to add your chapter to their databases? Go the the Guidestar site directly.
Want to make a donation with another card or just do some research? Go to the JustGive.org site.
