The Alpha Delta Pi Foundation Giving Circle is designed for alumnae members under the age of 40 who want to play an active role in their personal philanthropy. Alumnae can join the Giving Circle with an annual gift of $250, $500, $1,000 or $1,500, given annually at one time or as a recurring monthly gift. Together, members collectively decide how their funds will support meaningful projects and initiatives.
More than a place for members to give collectively, the Giving Circle is a social space for our members to connect, learn, and grow. Throughout the year, members of the Giving Circle can participate in social events, building both their professional networks and their friendships with other alumnae.

Any Alpha Delta Pi alumna under the age of 40 may join the Giving Circle with a gift of one of four amounts. We ask that you make a gift that is personally meaningful to you and consider increasing your gift over time. Annual gifts can be made one-time or split into recurring monthly gifts.
Annual Giving Options
All recurring monthly gifts start the month a member joins and continue until July 31 of the current giving year. Monthly giving amounts will adjust at the beginning of each month to reflect the remaining number of months in the giving year. Visit the recurring monthly giving page to review this month’s recurring gift amount.
Membership in the Giving Circle runs August 1 through July 31 and participants must join before April 30 annually to be eligible to vote on the use of funds.
For the 2025-2026 grant cycle, members of the Giving Circle awarded more than $31,000 to three projects through grants from the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation. Brief descriptions of the projects are listed below.

In 2025-2026, Giving Circle members participated in three virtual social events, a virtual Member Meeting to vote on the use of funds, various in-person happy hours, and Donor Weekend at the Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs, CO.
Virtual Events
In-Person Events
Yes! Each year we ask Giving Circle eligible alumnae to make their gift to the Giving Circle in advance of April 30. This ensures donors are able to participate in the voting process for the use of collective funds. Additionally, the earlier you join, the more opportunities you have to participate in social functions throughout the year!
Great question! The Alpha Delta Pi Foundation operates on an annual giving year (fiscal year) starting August 1 and ending July 31. This is important for Giving Circle members as it is how our grant cycle runs and helps determine funding for the grants process each year.
Nope! We get it, lives are busy and sometimes attending a social function, event if it’s virtual, just isn’t in the cards. There are no mandatory events and Giving Circle members are encouraged to participate as much or as little as they would like but we hope you’ll consider joining as many events as possible to help build a stronger and more robust Giving Circle community.
Not at this time. In an effort to ensure our Giving Circle community can increase or alter their gift with each new giving year, we ask you to renew your gift annually. Keep an eye out in August of each year for links to renew your gift.
In August of 2025, the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation launched the Giving Circle. In the first year these 96 members decided to #BeTheFirst and joined with gifts of $250, $500, $1,000, or $1,500 ultimately raising $38,500. Thank you to these Founding Giving Circle Members!
