The Four Primary Foundation Funds

APD Cares
Brothers Helping Brothers This program is designed to assist brothers in financial distress due to a Presidentially declared disaster, such as hurricanes or earthquakes. In the event of devastation due to an event like Hurricane Sandy or Hurricane Harvey, applications for assistance can be filled out. Don’t wait for the next disaster to hit. Please help us fund this so we are in a position to help brothers in need. Click here to learn more about APD Cares. |
Leadership
Perhaps no other college experience prepares one for future leadership better that the fraternity experience. There are few more challenging positions than that of a chapter officer. Through grants from the Foundation, Alpha Phi Delta hosts leadership conferences across the country for chapter members and officers each year.
