The P.E.O. Foundation is not a project but is a service to the P.E.O. Sisterhood that benefits all of the projects.
Establishing a Fund
Chapters or individuals may establish a fund in the Foundation with a US $1,000 initial deposit toward a required minimum permanent balance of US $5,000 reached within five years.
The fund may be named as the donor wishes, and is often established in the donor’s name or in the name of one being honored or memorialized.
