The First 200 Sorors Who Donate $110 or More Will Receive a Complimentary Commemorative T-Shirt in Celebration of Sisterhood, Scholarship and Service

The Zeta National Educational Foundation, Incorporated (ZNEF) proudly announces the launch of its 2026 Giving Tuesday Campaign, calling upon members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, community partners, alumni, friends and supporters nationwide to unite in a powerful demonstration of generosity and commitment to educational excellence.

This year's campaign embraces the inspiring message "Give Today. Empower Tomorrow." It reinforces the Foundation's enduring mission to expand educational opportunities, provide scholarships and invest in the next generation of scholars, leaders, innovators and changemakers.
As a special expression of appreciation, the first 200 Sorors who contribute $110 or more to the Giving Tuesday Campaign will receive a complimentary commemorative ZNEF T-shirt, symbolizing their commitment to sisterhood, scholarship and the transformational power of giving.

The initiative encourages Sorors to demonstrate the collective strength of Zeta Phi Beta's sisterhood while making a meaningful investment in the academic aspirations of deserving students. To date, ZNEF has contributed almost one million dollars to over 100 students. Five of the students were given funding to complete their Bachelor of Arts degree tuition-free.

"For more than five decades, the Zeta National Educational Foundation, Incorporated has remained steadfast in its commitment to advancing educational excellence and creating opportunities for deserving students," said Valerie Hollingsworth Baker, Chairwoman of the Zeta National Educational Foundation, Incorporated. "Giving Tuesday is more than a day of generosity. It is an opportunity to reaffirm our responsibility to future generations. When we invest in education, we invest in stronger families, more vibrant communities and a brighter future for our nation. I encourage every Soror, supporter and friend of the Foundation to join us in making this campaign an extraordinary demonstration of the power of collective giving."

Celebrated globally, Giving Tuesday takes place this year on Tuesday, December 1, 2026, bringing together millions of individuals and organizations committed to making a positive difference through charitable contributions and community engagement.
The Foundation's campaign will focus on mobilizing support through digital outreach, social media engagement, chapter participation, personal giving and philanthropic partnerships.

"Our goal is to turn the power of sisterhood into the promise of opportunity," said Gina Merritt-Epps, ZNEF Board Member/Development Department Chair, "Every contribution, regardless of size, brings us closer to helping students achieve their educational dreams. We are especially excited to recognize the first 200 Sorors who contributed $110 or more with a commemorative T-shirt that represents their generosity, pride and commitment to the Foundation's mission. This is more than a fundraising campaign; it is a movement of women investing in the future, one scholarship and one student at a time."

Through its scholarship programs and educational initiatives, ZNEF continues to help remove financial barriers that can prevent promising students from pursuing higher education and achieving their full potential.

The Foundation recognizes that access to education can change the trajectory of an individual's life while creating a lasting impact across generations.

The 2026 Giving Tuesday Campaign invites supporters to make a difference in three meaningful ways:
• GIVE: Make a tax-deductible contribution to support scholarships and educational initiatives.
• ENGAGE: Encourage Sorors, chapters, family members, friends and community partners to participate in the campaign.
• INSPIRE: Share the Foundation's mission and Giving Tuesday message across social media and personal networks to expand awareness and participation.

The first 200 Sorors contributing $110 or more will qualify for the complimentary commemorative ZNEF T-shirt, serving as a visible reminder of their investment in educational opportunity and the enduring legacy of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated.
Supporters are encouraged to make their contributions early and help build momentum leading up to Giving Tuesday on December 1.
