The Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies Foundation, Inc., was established on 8 July 1974, as a non-profit corporation.

The foundation operates as the legal arm of the societies, holding title to the portrait collection, chamber furnishings, and other items of value. The foundation uses its financial resources, both solicited and donated, to fund portrait restoration, an ongoing archive preservation project; plot maintenance in the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery; and other large capital expenditures.
