Celebrating 147 years with Founders Day of Giving!
Over a period of 18 hours and 72 minutes filled with excitement and celebration, sisters, family and friends alike sprang into action to honor 147 years of Alpha Phi. With you on this Founders Day of Giving, we raised an incredible $156,426 to secure the future of women scholars, leaders, and innovators.
Kicking off at 6:00 AM EST, 956 donors joined forces to make this one of our most successful giving days to date. With the opportunity to give to a greater number of funds this year, 1,044 of gifts were made to support the area of greatest need, endowment for leadership, endowment for women’s heart health, and a number of chapter scholarship and chapter leadership funds.
