Foundation in Development

Building the Canton-Madison (MS) Alumni Chapter Achievement
& Community Foundation.

Canton-Madison (MS) Alumni Chapter is working to establish the Canton-Madison (MS) Alumni Chapter Achievement & Community Foundation as a separate charitable organization focused on scholarships, youth development, education, and community impact throughout Canton and Madison County.

Coming Soon

A new foundation built for lasting impact.

Canton-Madison (MS) Alumni Chapter is developing the Canton-Madison (MS) Alumni Chapter Achievement & Community Foundation to create a dedicated vehicle for long-term charitable giving, scholarships, youth development, educational initiatives, and community-centered programs.

The Foundation is currently in development. This website does not represent that the Foundation has received recognition under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), and the Foundation is not currently accepting contributions through this page.

When the Foundation is properly organized, all required filings are completed, and its giving infrastructure is ready, this page will be updated with Foundation-specific giving information.

Chapter support areas

When online giving is activated, supporters will be able to indicate the area they would most like their support to advance.

  • Scholarships — educational awards and scholarship-related initiatives
  • Community Service — service projects and community outreach
  • General Community Impact — flexible support for approved community programs and needs

Canton-Madison (MS) Alumni Chapter will make reasonable efforts to honor a supporter's stated preference while retaining discretion to apply chapter-level support to approved programs and community initiatives.

Online Support Portal

The chapter payment link will be connected to Canton-Madison (MS) Alumni Chapter's designated secondary checking account after the required Mississippi charitable-solicitation registration or exemption status is confirmed and the payment workflow is approved.

Kappa League & Youth Development

Separate program account

Kappa League maintains a separate account. Support specifically intended for Kappa League and youth-development programming will be routed through its separate giving process rather than deposited into the Canton-Madison (MS) Alumni Chapter general support account.
