Special Funds
We celebrate each and every gift made to the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation. Gifts of any amount and to any fund help sustain our sisterhood and empower new generations of real, strong women.
While gifts to the Real. Strong. Women. Fund are the best way to make an impact on every sister while providing flexibility to meet Alpha Chi Omega’s greatest needs, we know that many donors would like to make a significant impact on a specific program or chapter. The Foundation offers a variety of ways to do that – through restricted funds for priority Fraternity programs and through designated endowed funds established by donors to benefit a specific purpose.
Fraternity Programs
The Foundation offers the opportunity to support specific priority Fraternity programs.
Chapter Education
Chapter Education funds provide grants to collegiate chapters to help pay for chapter officer, member and advisor attendance at leadership programming, including attendance at Alpha Chi Omega programs, such as Leadership Academy, Collegiate Growth Academy and Convention.
Scholarships
Scholarship funds provide merit-based grants to collegiate and alumnae members to help pay for educational expenses.
Educational Assistance
Educational Assistance funds provide need-based grants to collegiate and alumnae members to help pay for educational expenses.
Chapter Housing
Donors can make tax-deductible gifts for educational improvements to chapter facilities within the guidelines provided by the IRS. These funds can be granted to the local house corporation or the National Housing Corporation to pay for construction, renovation, redecoration, furnishing or operations of educational portions of the designated chapter’s facility.
Member Assistance
Member Assistance funds provide grants to collegiate and alumnae members to help with financial needs related to emergency or crisis situations.
