Alpha Phi

The Alpha Phi Foundation
The original ten women who founded Alpha Phi were united with a common purpose. They felt the need to reach out and a circle of friends who could sympathize. Alpha Phis today share that same need. They face many of the same challenges and some new ones. The Alpha Phi Foundation was created to support Alpha Phis and others in need and to express the philanthropic spirit of love and charity intended by the Founders.

The Foundation supports collegiate programming in healthe education and leadership development, cardiac research and education, and financial assistance for women of all ages through the Forget-Me-Not Fund, emergency grants and undergraduate and graduate scholarships.

Cardiac Care
Since 1946, Alpha Phi has focused on heart disease and cardiac care as a philanthropic priority. Today, research into the diognosis and treatment of women's heart disease is a special interest of the Alpha Phi Foundation. Gender differences in diagnosing and treating cardiac health problems are becoming widely recognized

Scholarships
The Foundation supports women in all stages of their education. Undergraduate and graduate scholarships are awarded to Alpha Phi collegians and alumnae every year. Non-traditional educational scholarships are also available to Alpha Phi women who need additional course work for certification, career advancement or to re-enter the work force.

The Forget-Me-Not Fund
The Forget-Me-Not Fund was established to assist Alpha Phi alumnae facing grave health problems, natural disasters or other financial crises.
