Philanthropy

Alpha Xi Delta's interest in children and their special needs led us to adopt Choose Children, a initiative that emphasizes voluntary service in all areas of child well-being. Choose Children isn't an organization - it's an idea.

Unlike many other Greek organizations, Alpha Xi Delta is not exclusively linked with one philanthropic organization. Alpha Xi Delta gives members the flexibility to look in their communities and decide how they can best benefit children. For some chapters it's sponsoring a football tournament to raise money for a local organization; for others it's spending time tutoring children at an after-school program. Some chapters choose to work with children at a battered women's shelter, while others entertain patients in the pediatric wing of a hospital. No matter what activity a chapter, association or individual chooses, the impact that Alpha Xi Deltas have on children in their communities is unmatched. And the impact children have on Alpha Xi Deltas everywhere is immense!

Our Promise to Children

In 1998 Alpha Xi Delta joined in supporting the goal of America's Promise - The Alliance for Youth by promising to give more than 75,000 hours and $250,000 yearly in contributions and donated goods to children. Alpha Xi Delta chapters, associations and individual members have met or exceeded our promise every year.

There is no Choose Children Foundation. The Alpha Xi Delta Foundation supports Choose Children with its Philanthropy Fund. Choose Children Grants are awarded to agencies sponsored by Alpha Xi Delta college chapters or alumnae associations.

If you would like to contribute to the Alpha Xi Delta Philanthropy Fund, you can make a tax-deductible contribution to the Alpha Xi Delta Foundation.
