Tri Kappa Alpha Chapter

Supporting Bloomington Through Charity, Culture, and Education

What is Tri Kappa?

Established in 1901 as Tri Kappa’s first chapter, the Bloomington Alpha Chapter is a women’s philanthropic organization dedicated to charity, culture, and education. Our members volunteer their time and talents to support local students and nonprofit organizations through fundraisers such as Blingo, flower sales, and cheeseball sales.

Proceeds fund scholarships for graduating high school seniors and continuing learners, along with grants for local programs serving Bloomington and Monroe County. Community participation and business support help turn these fundraising efforts into meaningful opportunities and assistance.
