Your financial gift to the Altrusa International Foundation can be designated for the following Giving Programs:
Club 52
What began as Club 21—to support camps for children living with HIV/AIDS—has grown into a vibrant 30-year tradition of support and service. Today, as Club 52, we continue that legacy by funding children’s camps for those living with disabilities and serious illnesses, along with international healthcare and educational initiatives that change lives around the world.
With this growth comes a greater need for resources. The $21 donation that launched the program in 1997 is now nearly $50 in today’s terms. To meet these needs, Club 52 offers a simple, sustainable way to give:
Individuals: $1 per week for 52 weeks, as a one-time gift of $52 each fiscal year
Clubs and Districts: $252 each fiscal year, uniting Altrusans in collective impact
At the 59th International Convention in Québec City, 274 Altrusans became Charter Members of Club 52, signaling a new era of generosity and commitment. By joining, you help ensure that children and families—both locally and globally—receive the care, opportunities, and hope they deserve.
Endowment Fund
Established in 1992, the Endowment Fund serves as a lasting foundation for the International Foundation’s mission. By providing long-term financial support, it ensures that the vital work of service, literacy, and relief will continue not only today but for generations to come.
Through the Endowment Fund, every contribution becomes more than a gift—it is an enduring investment in communities worldwide. This sustained support allows the Foundation to respond to immediate needs while building a stronger future, empowering Altrusans to carry forward a legacy of compassion, education, and hope.
General Support (Where Most Needed)
Funds designated to “Where Most Needed” will support a broad range of the Altrusa International Foundation’s operational and programmatic needs.
Planned Giving
The purpose of the Planned Giving Program is to support the legacy of literacy and community service. Supporters of the Foundation who make a deferred gift will become members of the Altrusa International Foundation’s “Donor Roundtable,” and they will be recognized at the International Convention.
Grants Program
The Grants Program empowers Altrusan Clubs and Districts to bring meaningful change to their communities. By providing funding for local service projects and literacy initiatives, the program helps strengthen neighborhoods and expand opportunities for learning.
Donors to the Grants Program make this impact possible. Contributions directly support:
Community Service & Literacy Projects led by Altrusa Clubs and Districts
Vocational Assistance and Graduate School Support to help individuals gain skills, start businesses, secure employment, and achieve their educational goals.
Every gift to the Grants Program fuels local action and global opportunity—extending the Foundation’s mission of service, education, and empowerment.
Disaster Relief Aid
When disaster strikes—whether in the U.S. or around the world—Disaster Relief Aid provides critical support to first responders and communities in crisis.
Funds designated for Disaster Relief Aid enable the Foundation to respond quickly to district-specific emergencies and to partner with relief agencies, strengthening the overall capacity of first responders.
Every contribution helps ensure aid reaches where it is needed most, when it is needed most—bringing relief, resilience, and hope in the face of disaster.
Corporate Sponsorships and Matching Gift Program
The Foundation seeks corporate sponsorships to support its grant-making efforts and special events.
