Mission & Focus Areas
The fraternity’s stated goal is to assist communities in achieving better social and economic status through scholarship, fellowship, good character, and the uplifting of humanity.
Its national programs include Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College, focused on secondary and collegiate education; A Voteless People is a Hopeless People, focused on voter education, registration, political awareness, and empowerment; Brother’s Keeper, which advocates for the quality of life of senior and vulnerable community members; and Project Alpha, which provides education and skills workshops for young males ages 12–15 on responsibility, relationships, teen pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases.
The fraternity’s 2023 grants included support for organizations with varied missions. The Memorial Foundation Inc, which received $100,000, says its mission includes promoting awareness of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and democracy, creating educational programs, and encouraging upkeep of the memorial. National Urban League Inc, which received $20,000, describes itself as a nonpartisan civil rights and community-based movement providing services, research, and policy advocacy, primarily for African Americans and other emerging ethnic communities. Center for Transformative Action, which received $15,000, says its mission is to promote transformative action and its relation to social change.
Grantmaking
The IRS filing reports 13 grants totaling $320,000 in 2023 and 11 grants totaling $125,000 in 2022. Those totals equate to average grants of about $24,615 in 2023 and $11,364 in 2022. The 2024 filing reports no grants.
In August 2024, the fraternity announced up to $100,000 in chapter microgrants for voter education, registration, and mobilization during the 2024 election cycle. Selected chapters were required to partner with a local National Pan-Hellenic Council chapter, civil rights organization, or advocacy partner. The fraternity said selection would involve a proposal process and review of the chapter’s standing, with final approval by the Regional Vice President. The 2024 election-cycle funding was a past cycle as of September 29, 2026.
For its Department of Justice-funded mentoring program (a February–December 2016 funding period, per the fraternity's website), chapters competed through a request-for-proposals process. Funding depends on the number of students served and is allocated to a “City Account” for participating chapters to draw from in quarterly allotments. Adults participating in that federally funded initiative must submit a mentor application before taking part.
