Support SOF

Every donor was once a student.

Every gift you make is an investment in the version of the industry you wish you'd inherited — one led by people of character, judgment, and conviction. We treat that capital with the same fiduciary discipline you'd expect from a Tier 1 institution.

The Stewardship Guarantee

We hold ourselves to the same standard we ask our students to internalize. Independent audit, segregated program funds, and a direct line to the Philanthropy team for every major gift donor. No black box.

01

High-impact philanthropy

We cultivate leaders grounded in integrity long before they’re entrusted with capital.

02

Donor advisory

We seek advice and guidance from all of our donors to shape our strategy and programs.

03

Streamlined reporting

Quarterly organizational updates for capital commitments and a call whenever you want

04

Third-party audited

Public 990s and audited financials. Capital stewarded with integrity.

The 100% model.

Program dollars and operating dollars are tracked separately. When you choose the Programs allocation, every cent of your gift funds students, chapters, and curriculum directly — never overhead.

FUND

Programs

Donations allocated directly support students, chapters, and the curriculum that runs through them.

FUND

Growth

Donations drive the essential infrastructure of operations— staff, technology, infrastructure that scales the program.
