Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Theta Phi Alpha Foundation enriches Theta Phi Alpha sisters by providing resources for scholarship, philanthropy, and education through charitable giving. For philanthropy, we support the cause of homelessness, Glenmary Home Missioners, and a children's camp in Mississippi for children whose cases are managed by the state. We provide academic scholarships annually. We provide support for leadership education opportunities.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Academic Scholarships
The original purpose of Theta Phi Alpha Foundation remains a core focus today, to offer scholarships to Theta Phi Alpha Sisters. Scholarships are available for both undergraduate and graduate students. These academic scholarships can assist students with their tuition, college or university fees, books, and on-campus housing.
UIFI Scholarships
i Alpha Foundation offers scholarships for collegiate members to attend a UIFI session during Summer 2018. A scholarship covers the costs associated with attending the Institute, including registration and travel costs.
Camp Friendship
Camp Friendship is a two-week summer camp hosted in northeast Mississippi for children from disadvantaged and low-income homes. Children develop teamwork skills, foster new relationships, and promote a sense of self-worth that grows from their personal accomplishments. Sisters of Theta Phi Alpha assist Camp Friendship with financial donations, supplies and as volunteers at the camp.
Glenmary Home Missioners
Glenmary Home Missioners serves the spiritual and material needs of those living in rural Appalachia, where they distribute food, clothing, and books to needy persons, and assist in providing medical care, job training and tutoring.
The House that Theta Phi Alpha Built
The House That Theta Phi Alpha Built, established in 1993, has the goal of improving the plight of the homeless and allows the flexibility of selection suitable organizations to support, such as those providing aid to the homeless through shelters, home building, or neighborhood revitalization projects. This permits Theta Phi Alphas to help those in need in their own community, while remaining united in our aim and purpose.
Disaster Relief Grants
Our Disaster Relief Fund was established in the wake of Hurricane Katrina during 2005 to provide assistance to sisters affected by a Presidentially-declared disaster. Grants can be used for purchasing basic necessities, such as food, clothing, and temporary housing. Many items permitted are not covered by insurance or FEMA grants, so this extra assistance helps to bridge the gap of the financial losses incurred.
Leadership Development & Education
Leadership education and training—provides resources and instruction to develop the sisters and new members of Theta Phi Alpha.
Leadership Consultants—provide on-site personal contact and educational opportunities to Theta Phi Alpha chapters and colonies.
Programming at National Conventions, Officer Leadership Training and Theta Phi Days—offer national and regional opportunities for engagement and education of our young leaders.
Siena Medalist—the Foundation provides a donation to a charitable organization selected by our Siena Medalist.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Theta Phi Alpha Foundation is working to increase our profile by increasing engagement and making it more fun to be involved with our organization.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Theta Phi Alpha Foundation has been working to reorganize our structure and to recruit new Directors to create more exciting programming and supportive materials for our organization. We also have added a team concept to recruit volunteers to our organization. With the increased involvement, we expect to have increased participation and engagement, as well as expanded opportunities and offerings. We feel that these items will expand our ability to provide more resources to support our mission statement.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Theta Phi Alpha Foundation is able to fulfill needs, but with the expanded volunteer network, we feel that we will be able to expand resources and programming support.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Theta Phi Alpha Foundation's most recent accomplishment has been to fund mental health programming through two programs, DignityU and Behind Happy Faces. We have also recently created a restricted fund for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Access. Our academic scholarship and programming efforts have been strengthened through the creation of a dozen endowment funds. Our Philanthropy Guide provides a resource to develop programs for philanthropy and community service that can be performed by individuals and groups.
