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.

Thanks to the vision and generous commitment of our Founders’ Circle members and inaugural donors, the Omega Phi Alpha Foundation has raised $57,063 (114% of the campaign’s goal) to support the sorority’s mission.

Members contributing at least $2,500 to the Founders’ Circle will be recognized in perpetuity for their generosity in supporting “Today’s Friends, Tommorow’s Leaders, Forever in Service.”
