Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act (CHIA)

Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act would allow charitable organizations (such as fraternity and sorority foundations) to make grants for almost 100% of any capital improvements. This would allow alumni to make all gifts towards construction projects as tax deductible donations through designated funds specifically towards capital projects. The bills in the 2011th Congress are: Senate Bill 705 and House Resolution 1327

Please visit our fraternal partner, Fraternity and Sorority Political Action Committee for additional information about this and other important matters affecting fraternity and sorority members.
