As the non-profit arm of one of the most historic organizations comprised mainly of African American men, the Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation has established itself as a leading voice of influence to impact the large-scale social and systemic changes needed to improve the outcomes and lives of young people in underserved communities throughout America in the form of advocacy and program support.

We recognize that the pressing issues facing our youth and communities in the 21st century can only be solved through a multi-faceted approach 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.
