The Alpha Xi Delta Foundation has a long history of supporting the Fraternity’s philanthropic activities. The Alpha Xi Delta Foundation is proud to continue this tradition by supporting Autism Speaks through individual grants awarded to collegiate chapters or alumnae associations in an effort to enhance their fundraising and awareness efforts. College chapters or alumnae associations that are in need of start-up funds to initiate an AmaXIng Challenge event are encouraged to apply for an Alpha Xi Delta Foundation AmaXIng Challenge Grant.
The Alpha Xi Delta Foundation AmaXIng Challenge Grants (ACG) are an effort to empower and support chapters and associations in growing their events and fundraising capabilities in support of Autism Speaks. The Foundation realizes the strength of Alpha Xi Delta lies in the membership and is committed to designating funds annually for grants that enable Chapters and Associations to dream bigger and raise understanding and acceptance for Autism Speaks. All chapters and associations in good standing are encouraged to apply.
Chapters and Associations must show an expected income of a minimum of 10 times the amount of the requested grant.
Chapters and Associations must show community education and involvement.
Chapters and Associations must show a well-constructed sponsorship packet, public relations plan and objectives.
Chapters and Associations must show how an ACG will enable your event to be bigger and better than ever before because of additional funding.
The event must be an approved AmaXIng Challenge.
Submit the application and support materials as posted on Ex Xi to Kendra Lewis, Director of Development, at klewis@alphaxidelta.org at least 90 days prior to your event.
