Mission & Focus Areas
The Foundation’s mission is to sustain Alpha Chi Omega’s educational and philanthropic values through fundraising and stewardship, helping members positively impact their communities and the world.
Its funding includes scholarships and need-based educational assistance for collegiate and alumnae members; educational and philanthropic grants to chapters; grants for educational portions of chapter housing improvements; and support for the Fraternity’s educational and philanthropic programs. The Foundation also supports community work related to domestic violence awareness. Its website states that grants cannot be used for member dues and fees.
Among its 2025 grantees, Alpha Chi Omega National Housing Corporation received a chapter housing grant. The corporation describes its mission as enhancing collegiate members’ experience through appropriate, desirable and safe facilities. Alpha Chi Omega Fraternity Inc received an educational grant; its stated mission is to cultivate communities where women are inspired to connect, lead, grow and serve. Community grantees included Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support, whose mission is to provide safety, shelter and support to women and children affected by domestic violence and raise awareness of its impact, and The SAFE Alliance, which says it raises awareness of and assists people and families impacted by child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the Foundation reported 63 grants totaling $3,128,618. Grant amounts ranged from $5,128 to $1,073,991, with a median of $16,665. Its largest grants were $1,073,991 to Alpha Chi Omega National Housing Corporation for chapter housing grants and $707,889 to Alpha Chi Omega Fraternity Inc for an educational grant. Other notable awards included $87,312 to Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support, $85,156 to the Women’s Center of Tarrant County and $77,828 to Alpha Chi Omega House Corporation for Psi Chapter for a chapter housing grant.
The Foundation’s website describes annual scholarships, educational assistance, chapter education grants and member assistance grants. These awards support members’ education, chapters’ educational or philanthropic expenses, and members’ emergency or crisis-related financial needs. The website gives typical educational assistance awards of $500–$1,500 and reports more than $100,000 awarded in educational assistance for the 2025–26 academic year. That assistance is for members’ study-related expenses, rather than grants to outside applicants.
The 2024 filing states that grants are administered by Foundation staff with volunteer committee assistance, and that each grant type has specific eligibility criteria. Recipients sign an acceptance agreement requiring repayment if they cannot accept the grant or use it for the specified purpose. Staff monitor outstanding awards quarterly and require documentation that funds were used as specified. The website says scholarship and educational assistance applications open in spring for the following academic year; chapter education grant recipients are notified in summer. No general deadline or process for outside organizations is stated.
