Phi Beta Psi Sorority
Phi Beta Psi Sorority is a national civic sorority that raises funds for cancer research and awards grants to researchers. The site lists recent (2025) grant recipients, grant application guidance, chapter listings (including Tucson, AZ), and contact information; the organization's EIN (31-6043811) and Form 990 filings match the national organization.

Ideal Applicant
A small research group or nonprofit program focused on cancer research with clear alignment to the sorority's priorities and, ideally, a local Phi Beta Psi chapter connection.
Good Fit
- • Primary mission focused on cancer research or related investigator-funded projects.
- • Existing ties or endorsement from a local Phi Beta Psi chapter or members.
- • Modest, project-level funding requests consistent with small grants.
- • Ability to follow posted application guidance and timing if using the site's RFP materials.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year was confined to a single state (Ohio), while the organization's filing lists an Arizona foundation state; the visible grant footprint is geographically narrow.
Recipient Variety
The latest available year shows only one distinct recipient; with only one year of data, long-term recipient breadth cannot be assessed, but the most recent observed recipient variety is minimal.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover or a history of new grantees is unavailable because only one tax year is observed and the funding signals did not flag formal application procedures; however the organization maintains a public website with contact pages and an RFP PDF, so new applicants have a visible—but not fully documented—route.
