What Phi Beta Kappa Foundation does
Mission
Organized for the creation of funds or endowments for the promotion of sound learning through the establishment of fellowships, awards & similar items.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Awards and fellowships: the mary isabel sibley fellowship is awarded to women scholars every year, alternating between greek and french. The walter j. Jensen fellowship is awarded for at least six months of study in france. The purpose of the fellowship is to help educators and researchers improve education in standard french language, literature, and culture. The dr. Martin r. Lebowitz and eve lewellis lebowitz prizes for philosophical achievement and contribution are awarded to provide significant, tangible recognition for excellence in philosophical thought. The lebowitz symposium program consists of a pair of annual lectures to be delivered sequentially at a division meeting of the american philosophical association selected by the honorees, or lacking their agreement, by the phi beta kappa society. The topic of the lectures is an important philosophical issue of current interest, and the lectures shall ordinarily be chosen to offer contrasting (not necessarily opposing) views on that topic.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $38M to $46M (+21%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
