Alpha Kappa Alpha Educational Advancement Foundation, Inc.

We are primarily African-American women with a commitment to promote life-long learning. Scholarships, fellowships and grants to students and projects are strategies used to fulfill our commitment.

How do you help people in my community?

Our Community Assistance Awards assist organizations that support civic, educational, or human service programs. Over the years Community Assistance Awards have supported a variety of grassroots initiatives such as: The Macon County Food Pantry Center in Alabama.  The pantry was able to purchase computers, printers, office supplies, and freezers.  Macon County Food Pantry Center served over 24,000 people and impacted the economic vitality of the community as a whole.

Why do you need my support?

Every gift makes a difference; even the smallest gift when combined with others can have a positive impact on the work we do to make learning a life- long process. Our awards can be used for tuition, school supplies, transportation and community projects.

How can I be sure that you will use my money wisely and won't waste it?

Our board of directors are volunteers who believe in prudent management. We are also aided by professional financial advisors to assist us in investment decision making. We have a five person professional staff and rely on part time help and volunteers to service our constituents. Our administrative costs are less than 10% of our total income.

Can I Volunteer? How?

Yes, you can volunteer. We use volunteers in our office during scholarship judging’s and throughout the year for other corporate projects.  Call us at 1-800-653-6528 or visit our website (www.akaeaf.org) for more information on becoming an E.A.F volunteer.
