Clasped Hands Fund Endowment

Help support alumnae in financial distress

The Clasped Hands Fund Grant provides emergency financial assistance to Alpha Delta Pi alumnae who find themselves in financial distress. Need and circumstances determine the amount of each grant. Over the years, the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation has awarded more than $690,000 in Clasped Hands Fund grants to alumnae in need.

Violets for My Sisters

Our annual fundraiser to provide for alumnae members in financial distress will be Virtual Violets for My Sisters again this year.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN VIOLETS FOR MY SISTERS, PLEASE MAKE YOUR GIFT AT WWW.VIOLETSFORMYSISTERS.ORG (not on this Day of Giving site). Gifts made here will go to the endowed fund instead.

The Foundation staff will administratively enter Violets for My Sisters gifts during Day of Giving so they count towards our Day of Giving totals and notifications will be sent via email to all honorees.

History

The Clasped Hands Fund started with contributions received at Grand Convention in 1993. The fund was endowed in 1997 thanks to the generosity of Deen Day Sanders, Beta Sigma—Mercer University.
