Description
Alpha Phi Foundation’s Heart to Heart Grant supports research and education to lessen the impact of heart disease in women. Established in 1993, the annual program builds on the Foundation’s commitment to cardiac care, adopted as a priority in 1946. It funds medical researchers and community advocates working to advance women’s cardiovascular health across North America.
The program has two funding categories. Clinical grants support traditional bench and clinical research, including medical breakthroughs, early screening technology, and clinical trials specific to women’s biology. Community grants emphasize engagement, education, and programming rather than research, including grassroots outreach, CPR training, and survivor support networks. Both categories must focus on women’s heart health.
