The WSIA Education Foundation provides small "Friend of the Program" grants to Gamma Iota Sigma chapters through a specific fundraising event such as a golf tournament, or through programs such as a risk management and insurance information session, career fair, or mock interviews.

The Foundation has allocated a total of $10,000 annually in support of the Friend of the Program grants, $5,000 in the fall and $5,000 in the spring, with awards between $250 - $500. Grants are awarded on a first come, first served basis for each semester.

Grant requests are considered only if the benefit accrues directly to the university program and its students rather than a third party. For example, the Foundation does not donate to philanthropic efforts designed to support a local charity.
