Alpha Phi ​Gamma's Official National Philanthropy is the Fight Against Violence Towards Women. Our purpose is to help end all violence in our community, including domestic violence and gender inequality. The origins of our National Philanthropy began at our First National Conference in 1999. During this gathering, our Sisters voted to focus on a cause that was not as strongly supported as others but affected the lives of many women around the world. Thus began our passion in helping to fight against violence towards women. 
​
Since 1999, our Sisters across the nation have committed their efforts in volunteering with shelters and organizations and to help raise funds for this cause. In addition, our Sisters seek to spread awareness of this cause to build support in our communities.

Violence against women can occur anywhere, especially in the seclusion of a private residence. Its effects scar the face of our Nation. Many acts of abuse can spill over into schools and places of work, and it affects people from every walk of life. Violence toward women also affects children in our lives. Whether they are witnesses to abuse or taking it first-hand they are also victims. Exposing children to abuse in their childhood can cause chain reactions as they continue to grow to adulthood. Many women today believe they have no place to go for help. If you or someone you know is affected by violence - NOW is the time to take hold of this issue. Being proactive is an effective way to prevent domestic violence.
