This is Alpha Chi's #1 philanthropy. The Foundation supports worthwhile philanthropies in the name of Alpha Chi Omega.

Victims of Domestic Violence

This Foundation supports educational programs for victims of domestic violence as well as hands-on support at the local community level where personal involvement can make a difference. Grants go to various agencies providing services to victims as well as to provide development and implementation of educational programs for members.


Easter Seal

Easter Seals provides services to children and adults with disabilities and other special needs, and support to their families. Annual contributions are made by the Foundation to the National Easter Seal Society to provide specially
designed car seats to children with special needs.

The MacDowell Colony

Located in Peterborough, New Hampshire, was Alpha Chi Omega’s first altruistic project, many years ago, and upholds our tradition of excellence in the fine arts. The MacDowell Colony provides a place where creative artists can find freedom to concentrate on their work. One of the studios, Star Studio, was built in 1911 with funds from the Fraternity and has been maintained ever since that time. You can visit their website at www.macdowellcolony.org




Locally The Hubbard House

The Hubbard House offers emergency shelter for women and children. Other services include a 24-hour hotline, counseling, outreach and legal referral. The Jacksonville shelter includes 85 beds with 24-hour check-in services. Designed and built as a "home-away-from- home," the Hubbard House can help restore a sense of calm during troubled times of illness or injury. Our chapter donates clothing, food items, etc on a regular basis and puts together multiple fundraisers throughout the year.

Take Back The Night

Take Back the Night is an international rally and march that is organized in local communities with the purpose of unifying women, men, and children in an awareness of violence against women, children and families. The event is a collaboration of community and campus and other interested persons who are ready to take a stand against violence and make the night safe for everyone. It is an event over twenty years old to protest sexual assault and domestic violence and to reclaim the night from those who have made it unsafe for women. Our entire Chapter attends this event every fall at the Jacksonville Landing.
