Foundation History
Bringing the Omega Phi Alpha Foundation to reality was a lifelong dream of former National President and “treasurer/VP Finance for life,” the late Pamela McCullough McEwen (Epsilon).
Pam longed for a way for Omega Phi Alpha to accept tax-deductible donations, apply for grants, and receive employer-matching contributions, ensuring that the members of Omega Phi Alpha would have the resources necessary to make a meaningful impact on the world through service.
We joyfully celebrate that on April 8, 2019, Pam’s dream came true.
