"Pi Beta Phi's signature philanthropy, Read > Lead > Achieve®, draws on a century of service and thousands of volunteers to inspire a lifelong love of reading. In current society, one in four children will grow up functionally illiterate.* Through the Read > Lead > Achieve reading initiatives, Pi Beta Phi will create a more literate and productive society."-The Pi Beta Phi Foundation NY Eta's goal is to raise $20 per member to support the Literacy Fund which allows us to promote literacy in our local community. The donations to this fund grants materials for our semi annual tutoring program, called Champions Are Readers, supports First Book, which donated books to people in in need, and many other opportunities.
