Expanding our impact together
We’re growing our circle! The Alpha Chi Omega Foundation’s new initiative, Growing Our Circle, aims to increase the Foundation’s annual funding of the Fraternity Grant through ambitious growth in annual giving to the Real. Strong. Women.® Fund through Leadership Circle.
The Foundation’s goal is to provide grants to the Fraternity to underwrite signature programming, and the Real. Strong. Women. Fund makes that possible. Leadership Circle donors, who give $1,000 or more annually to the Real. Strong. Women. Fund, are critical to the Foundation’s ability to fund the Fraternity Grant, as their support makes up a large portion of the Foundation’s annual unrestricted fundraising.
The Fraternity Grant funds a variety of educational programs for collegians and alumnae including Leadership Academy, Women & Wisdom and so much more!
Growing Our Circle aims to expand this support through three main goals:
- Increase the number of Leadership Circle donors
- Increase the level of annual giving by Leadership Circle donors
- Welcome a new generation of sisters to this circle of support
As part of the initiative, the Foundation has created two new recognition levels within Leadership Circle: Olive Circle, which recognizes donors aged 30 and younger who give $500 or more annually to the Real. Strong. Women. Fund, and Leadership Circle Platinum, which recognizes donors who give $8,500 or more annually to the Real. Strong. Women. Fund (and is a nod to our founding year!).
Leadership Circle benefits have expanded too! In addition to special recognition and engagement opportunities throughout the year, donors can now shop exclusive Alpha Chi Omega merchandise and swag through the online Leadership Circle Boutique!
