Alpha Kappa Alpha Educational Advancement Foundation, Inc.

The goals of the Educational Advancement Foundation are to continue to grow the Foundation's assets, expand our corporate and private donor base, increase our endowment portfolio and offer scholarship awards totaling more than $500,000 each year to students pursuing their higher educational goals.

We achieve our goals by creating and maintaining solid, relatable programs and initiatives. We have an improved marketing strategy whereby we utilize technology such as email communications, social media, and an updated and refreshed website to generate excitement and interest in our philanthropic efforts. We also stay in contact with our former scholarship recipients, members and corporate sponsors by expressing our thanks at their ongoing support.

We have a membership of over 77,000 college educated women and their network of professionals that support and assist us in meeting our goals. We are governed by a strong, active Board of Directors who come from a variety of professional and personal backgrounds. We are also supported by a team of 10 Regional Coordinators who are responsible for communicating and promoting the Foundation in their respective regions.

Since our inception in 1980, we have awarded over $5Million in scholarships, fellowships and community assistance grants to students and community organizations around the world. We have a solid foundation to support higher education for years to come.
