It is also the purpose of this foundation to engage in community rehabilitation and the maintenance of all types. The Foundation strives to help produce a better quality of life for all through education, re-development and training. In addition, the Foundation provides to young people academically oriented services such as tutoring, leadership training, career exposure, and financial assistance in the form of scholarships and loans. The foundation also assists various community based and social service organizations by providing homes for the elderly and for the physical redevelopment of housing.
The Foundation is a membership organization and is managed by the Board of Directors. The officers of the board consist of 10 members including the Polemarch, Vice Polemarch, Exchequer and Keeper of Records of the Detroit Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
The Detroit Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc and the Kappa Detroit Foundation have been providing college scholarships and financial aid to many young people in the metro Detroit area since 1920. These scholarship and financial aid funds have made it possible for many academically deserving students to attend college who might not have otherwise been able to attend.
The Board and membership body of the Kappa Detroit Foundation believe that those of us who have been afforded the opportunity to receive higher education have the responsibility to help some of our youth who are less fortunate.
