One of the most important aspects to being a member of Alpha Phi is having the opportunity to give back to the community. As a chapter, we place a strong emphasis on philanthropy & service.
In 1956, Alpha Phi was one of the first women's fraternities to establish a Foundation.
The Alpha Phi Foundation is dedicated to advancing leadership development, encouraging academic excellence, improving women's heart health, supporting sisters in need and educating about the value of philanthropy. It is well known and respected internationally as a prominent philanthropic leader for the Greek community, with our chapters raising over a million dollars annually.
Heart to Heart Grant
Each year the Foundation awards the Heart to Heart Cardiac Care Grant to an organization focused on women's cardiac research. Through our annual grant, the Foundation helps fund research and educational programs that support the improvement of women's heart health. The $100,000 award enables the medical profession to better understand gender differences in heart health and helps countless health care professionals increase their expertise in heart disease prevention and treatment in women. Through the support of these initiatives, Alpha Phi Foundation is helping millions of people live longer, richer lives.
Women’s Heart Health
Alpha Phi officially adopted Cardiac Care as a priority in 1946, which became the Foundation’s philanthropic priority upon its founding in 1956. The Foundation supports programs and research that study heart disease in women – specifically its symptoms, its treatment and its prevention.
More women than men die of heart disease each year. Today, heart disease kills one in three women. It is the leading cause of death of American women and kills more women age 65 years and older than all cancers combined. These statistics underscore why the understanding of this disease continues to be a priority.

Our second annual soccer event will be held Fall 2018. Participants will make teams of 5 to compete to win the Ivy Ball trophy and support the Alpha Phi Foundation. It is a double elimination tournament with 10 minute games. All proceeds are donated to our philanthropy.
Heart Health Week
Our newest philanthropy event is devoted to an entire week! During this week, sisters will be tabling to raise awareness of women's heart health and the Alpha Phi Foundation. We hand make necklaces to sell, assemble gift baskets to raffle off, and participate in a bike-a-thon to raise money for the foundation. We think this week will really showcase how special this foundation truly is to not only our sisters but the campus community as well.
