Saluting Alpha Chi Omega Foundation's Partnerships

A great way the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation fights domestic violence is through the local philanthropic initiative. Through the LPI, funds raised by local chapters go to domestic violence shelters and programs in their communities.

“In 2008-09, we have had over $258,000 gifted by collegiate and alumnae chapters through the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation’s Local Philanthropic Initiatives Fund for domestic violence related organizations across the country.”

Overall it is estimated that “our chapters donate nearly $400,000 a year to local agencies and shelters in various ways.”

This is AMAZING and we would love to hear from YOU how your chapter is helping in the fight against domestic violence.

For example:

Members of Mu Mu alumnae chapter in Kansas City volunteer at and raise money for Rose Brooks Center. http://www.rosebrooks.org/ Follow @rosebrookskc

Beta Eta collegiate chapter (FSU) @axo_fsu and Epsilon Tau Epsilon alumnae chapter support Refuge House in Tallahassee. http://www.refugehouse.com

Please add your chapter, your local domestic violence agency (with website and twitter, if available) by commenting below! Thank you!
