[[Jeffrey L. Johnson]] and his wife Kim announced the establishment of this fund to the Brotherhood Saturday, August 11. This fund was created to provide financial support for:
 
−
* Recruitment activities to prevent existing collegiate chapters from gong inactive
 
−
* Expansion activities to grow the number of active collegiate chapters
 
−
* Ongoing membership education to communicate how close Phi Sigma Pi came to ceasing to exist and the need for continual strong leadership to limit the possibility that a smiliar deterioration could happen again in the future.

Jeff and Kim Johnson personally pledged an initial $5,000 donation, the largest single donation in Phi Sigma Pi's history. They also pledged an additional $5,000 per year for nine additional years, based on stipulations of continued growth for the fraternity.  The Johnsons also challenged Convention attendees to pledge $2,500 the day the fund was announced and promised to match the $2,500 if the challenge was met. Convention attendees pledged over $13,000, for a combined total of over $20,000 in gifts and pledges the day the fund was announced, leading to the fund becoming fully vested.

===Recruitment Incentive Plan===

[[Vice President of Membership Development]] [[Patrick Herron]] unveiled a new incentive plan designed to to recognize chapters and award them for long term membership development planning. The plan groups chapters into two classifications: those with 70+ members and those with under 70 members. Each classification has a different recruitment target-- 150% annual growth in membership for chapters under the 70 member mark and a sustained membership level for chapters over 70 members. Chapters that meet their recruitment target will be rewarded with a voucher for one free registration to [[National Convention]]. Chapters that do not meet their target will not be penalized in any way. The plan is being implemented for the 2007 calendar year.
