About Alpha Phi Foundation
Alpha Phi Foundation Inc centers its giving on women’s lives through scholarships, leadership development, heart health, and short-term member assistance. The largest recent grants in the record went to Alpha Phi International Fraternity Inc for leadership training, including $1,836,137 in 2024 and $1,466,970 in 2024, alongside a $1,302,337 grant in 2023 to Alpha Phi Fraternity. That pattern shows a foundation that funds its own membership network at scale while also supporting outside institutions. Beyond internal leadership work, the foundation backs women’s cardiac research and care, and it uses scholarship support as a core way to help initiated collegiate and alumnae members cover education costs. Its programs also include temporary assistance for members facing severe hardship, natural disasters, health crises, or interrupted education. The recent grant list shows university-based scholarship support across multiple states, plus health grants to hospitals and medical schools. With annual grants of $5,724,019 and assets of $27,925,480, the foundation combines programmatic funding with direct financial support for individuals and institutions connected to Alpha Phi’s mission.
