About Alpha Chi Omega Foundation
Alpha Chi Omega Foundation Inc channels most of its grantmaking into chapter housing, education, and domestic violence-related community work tied to Alpha Chi Omega priorities. A single housing award stands out in the recent grants list: $1,045,542 to Alpha Chi Omega House Corporation for Psi Chapter in Norman, Oklahoma for a chapter housing grant. The foundation also made large educational grants to Alpha Chi Omega Fraternity in Indianapolis, including $831,554 in 2024 and $829,871 in 2023. Those awards show a pattern of supporting the fraternity’s own educational infrastructure alongside chapter facilities and member programs. The foundation’s public charity structure and restricted program funding fit that model. It supports collegiate and alumnae members through scholarships, need-based educational assistance, and emergency member assistance, while also funding chapter education grants and educational-area housing support. Its grant list includes both internal Alpha Chi Omega entities and community organizations, reflecting a mix of fraternity-directed support and outside philanthropic grants aligned with priority areas. Grants are national in scope, but the foundation’s recent recipients are concentrated in a small number of states and chapter communities.

Housing support is one of the clearest themes in the recent grants.

It also funded Alpha Chi Omega House Corporation for Beta Epsilon in East Lansing, Michigan with a $78,574 housing educational-area grant. Domestic violence awareness and prevention appears through community grants to service organizations. Recent examples include $108,877 to Genesis Women's Shelter & Support in Dallas, Texas; $94,972 and $81,872 to Women's Center of Tarrant County in Fort Worth, Texas; and $35,836 to Emerge Center Against Domestic Abuse in Tucson, Arizona. Educational support runs through member-focused grants as well. The foundation lists educational assistance grants for collegiate and alumnae members, chapter education grants, and scholarships, all aimed at educational expenses, chapter programming, and member development.
