Foundation Directors are Alpha Phi alumnae who serve as the stewards and fiduciaries of our donors’ generosity. Our role is to raise, manage, and grant funds to support the Foundation’s philanthropic goals each year, while building an endowment for the future of Alpha Phi. In so doing, we set policy, offer staff guidance, and ensure high value, yet prudent operations under relevant law, regulation, and non-profit best practices. The Board creates and oversees a three-year Strategic Plan with input from the Fraternity’s International Executive Board (IEB); donors; staff; and legal, financial, and fundraising advisors.
