Alpha Epsilon Pi's Official Philanthropy Program
Mission Statement
The Alpha Epsilon Pi Official Philanthropy Program (OPP) is committed to supporting Jewish causes to reinforce the Jewish ideal of Tikkun Olam – repairing the world. As an international fraternity, we recognize the role the Jewish people around the world have played in shaping our brothers’ lives. Through our philanthropic endeavors, Alpha Epsilon Pi strives to give back to the Jewish community using the Repair the World Fund to benefit organizations around the world. We aim to give back through the OPP and foster the development of our brothers into responsible citizens as they become the Jewish leaders of tomorrow.
In order to repair the world, the AEPi OPP holds the following values in the highest priority:
- Providing assistance to those without adequate resources
- Supporting the fight against debilitating disease
- Developing education
- Strengthening Jewish identity
- Providing opportunities for youth
- Worldwide disaster relief
At our 106th International Convention in Washington, D.C. Alpha Epsilon Pi began a new commitment. In order to promote greater involvement in the Official Philanthropy Program Undergraduates will vote every year to add 3 new beneficiaries to the list. Each organization will receive $100,000 over several years for the commitment to be fulfilled. Our previous commitment was a total of $1,000,000 totaling to $100,000 to 10 organizations which was fulfilled in 5 years.
The Repair the World Fund currently supports 3 Beneficiaries. These organizations are the Israel Cancer Research Fund, The Jaffa Institute: The Neve Ofer Crisis Intervention House, and United Hatzalah please visit the Beneficiaries page.
