Thanks to the generosity of alumnae and donors, Alpha Phi Foundation supports Alpha Phi Fraternity, its members, and the communities in which they reside in the pursuit of advancing women’s lives now and into the future. **Our Mission** Advancing women’s lives through the power of philanthropy **What We Do** In 1956, Alpha Phi became one of the first women’s fraternities to establish a Foundation. It was created as a trust agreement to award scholarships and promote cardiac aid. Today, the original priorities hold true in our [five funding priorities](https://alphaphifoundation.org/vital-programs/): - Supporting innovative [leadership training and programming](https://alphaphi.org/join-alpha-phi/programs/) led by [Alpha Phi Fraternity](https://alphaphi.org/) - Awarding [**scholarships**](https://alphaphifoundation.org/vital-programs/scholarships/) to undergraduate and graduate Alpha Phis - Investing in the advancement of [**women’s heart health**](https://alphaphifoundation.org/vital-programs/womens-heart-health/) - Helping members in need through the [**Forget Me Not Grant Fund**](https://alphaphifoundation.org/vital-programs/assistance-grants/) - Celebrating the forward-thinking women that shaped Alpha Phi by supporting the Fraternity’s preservation of our rich [heritage](https://alphaphifoundation.org/vital-programs/heritage/) **Our Vision** As a preeminent philanthropic organization, Alpha Phi Foundation is recognized for the strength of our endowment and for innovation in cultivating and sustaining donor participation. We strive to be the philanthropy of choice among our members, with every Alpha Phi supporting the Foundation. **Strategic Initiatives** Alpha Phi Foundation is committed to its members during every stage of life. We are proud to share our 2021—2023 Strategic Plan to provide a lens into the operations of the Foundation, how donor dollars are spent, and how we steward donors through the giving experience. Throughout 2021—2023, six areas of focus will guide how the Foundation, with your support, fulfills our mission of **advancing women’s lives through the power of philanthropy**.
