The Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation, established in 1981, is the non-profit arm of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated, which is one of the most historic and revered black Greek organizations in the country for men of color. The Foundation was founded to support the outreach activities of Kappa members and friends in their communities.
Over the past three decades the Foundation has evolved from having a singular focus on supporting the programs and initiatives within Kappa Alpha Psi and has sought to establish itself as a leading voice of influence and impact on African American issues and underserved communities. In the past decade it has sought to bring about broad social and systemic changes needed to improve the outcomes and lives of young people and communities throughout America through advocacy and program support.
The foundation believes the solutions lie in multi-faceted approaches that includes mobilizing and leveraging the public sector, effective utilization of social media, implementing innovative ideas, influencing policies that promote positive change and building alliances with like-minded organizations in all sectors of society who share the same vision and desire to make the world a greater place for all, especially for the underserved and underprivileged.
Above all, the Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation has heeded the clarion call for the need of African American philanthropy to increase its impact in the communities it serves by providing assistance to education, empowerment, philanthropy, and equality for all.
