Programs
Alpha Chi chapters are supported by a robust chapter support program. Alpha Chi provides the software used by chapters to manage invitations and registrations (which includes national and local dues income management), and administrative support and training. Printing and shipping costs for all new member items sent to chapters for distribution are part of this support. In addition, a fund of $7,000 a year is set aside for chapter activity grants that chapters can apply for to create on-campus events and programs. Advisors are presented with recognition pins at significant intervals of service. An annual fund of $2,750 for need-based dues scholarships is available to chapters.
$295,540 spent$32,508 earned by the program72% of program spendingAcademic scholarships and fellowships (up to $83,750) and convention presentations and collaborative research team prizes ($10,000) are awarded annually to student members. Scholarship and fellowship applications are reviewed and winners are selected by the Scholarship Committee of the National Council of Alpha Chi. Students presenting at the annual national convention are eligible to compete for the convention-related prizes. Regional scholarships are administered by the officers of each of Alpha Chi's seven regions at $1,000 per region.
$88,331 spentof which $88,331 as grants21% of program spendingAnnual national convention of approximately 200 student members, faculty advisors, and keynote speakers who come together in a multi-disciplinary conference of academic and creative student presentations and chapter and member development workshops. Chapter representation is kept affordable with low registration fees compared to the benefits of the convention (support amounted to $8,612 in 2025). The 2025 national convention was held virtually rather than in person, which is why this figure is significantly lower compared to prior years.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $2.2M to $1.6M (−27%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 6% · 2022 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $26 → $27.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Alpha Chi National College Honor Society’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of Alpha Chi National College Honor Society's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $140 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
