Alpha Phi’s Philanthropy is the Alpha Phi Foundation: Created in 1957, the Alpha Phi Foundation was the first such foundation for a women's Greek organization and is a means to channel the commitment and vision to put the good will, hard work, and belief in Alpha Phi to work in powerful ways. Through the Foundation, Alpha Phi has reached out to increasing numbers of people, offering opportunities to learn, lead, and live healthier lives. For more information, visit

Cardiac Care and Research: For more than 50 years, Alpha Phi has focused on cardiac care and research. More recently, we have paid particular attention to groups that study the causes and treatment of heart disease in women. Because it supports these cardiac care initiatives, the Alpha Phi Foundation helps millions of people live longer, richer lives.
The Alpha Phi Foundation is a Coalition Partner with
WomenHeart, the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease. Since 1946, Alpha Phi has focused on heart disease and cardiac care as a philanthropic priority. As a women’s organization, Alpha Phi Foundation places special emphasis on women’s cardiac health.

Heart disease is the #1 killer of women in America. Go Red for Women is the movement to give women lifesaving powers to prevent this disease and have long, helathy futures. Alpha Phis across the world participate in Go Red for Women.
The RED DRESS pin, the color red, and the TAKE HEART wristband are symbols for women’s heart disease. http://www.alphaphi.org/foundation_i...nt_events.html
Individual chapters participate in and host numerous philanthropy and community service events each year that benefit the Alpha Phi Foundation and local philanthropies through our Community Contribution Policy. They raise public awareness by hosting
Cardiac Care Week at their campus. They volunteer their time on a variety of different events hosted in their area. Some examples can be found here -
