GIAR Named Funds
While most Grants in Aid of Research gifts are endowed into the Sigma Xi General Fund to support research in all areas of science and engineering, the program also grows through exceptional donations from members who create special named funds.
A named fund may be established with a gift of $25,000. Your fund may support research across all areas of science and engineering, or Sigma Xi will also work to fulfill your intentions towards a restricted purpose for your fund. Restrictions may include field of research, level of researcher (undergraduate/graduate), and geographical region, among others.
