South Central Province Purpose Foundation

The South Central Province Purpose Foundation, a nonprofit organization affiliated with Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., focuses primarily on addressing homelessness in the regions under its administrative purview, which includes Tennessee and northern Mississippi. The foundation's mission emphasizes supporting families with children in public school systems to achieve self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyles.

Mission and Activities

The foundation aims to combat homelessness by partnering with local community organizations that assist families of homeless children. These partnerships are reinforced annually during the South Central Province Council, an event where the fraternity comes together to support local causes. The foundation encourages donations at various levels to contribute to its mission of providing sustainable housing solutions for displaced children.

Philanthropic Tiers

Supporters can contribute at five different tiers:

• Krimson Level: $50
• Kream Level: $100
• Arbutus Level: $200
• River Jordan Level: $500
• Diamond Level: $1000

These contributions help finance community projects that directly address homelessness and support families in need.

Affiliations

The South Central Province of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity has a broader national philanthropic commitment, notably with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which was initially developed within this province. This indicates a strong tradition of community engagement and philanthropy within the organization. However, the South Central Province Purpose Foundation specifically targets homelessness in its designated geographic areas.
