Women’s Heart Health

Alpha Phi Foundation cares about improving women’s heart health, and has supported education and research since our dedication to the cause in 1946.

Heart to Heart Grant

Through the generosity of alumnae and donors, Alpha Phi Foundation funds research and educational programs that support the advancement of women’s heart health.

The annual Heart to Heart Grant awards $100,000 to medical professionals to better understand heart disease in women—specifically its symptoms, treatment, and prevention. Since its inception in 1993, the grant has funded over 30 cutting-edge projects focused in the improvement of women’s cardiovascular care.
