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.

Its programs also include temporary assistance for members facing severe hardship, natural disasters, health crises, or interrupted education.

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.
