OUR STORY

Two decades of proven mentorship, expanding to meet a growing need.

The Foundation was incorporated in 2004 and received its 501(c)(3) status in 2007, created as the philanthropic arm of the Tampa Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. It was modeled after the Fraternity’s national service program, Guide Right — whose flagship initiative, the Kappa Leadership and Development League (Kappa League), remains our core mentoring program today

Why we’re positioned to deliver

01

An elite professional network. Powered by college- educated professionals, corporate executives, and community leaders who serve as direct, visible mentors

02

A time-tested curriculum. Kappa League uses a structured framework built to develop leadership, character, and academic drive in young men 12–18

03

Established trust & infrastructure. Nearly a century of chapter history backs an organization that already knows how to deploy resources effectively

FIVE PROGRAM AREAS

One foundation, five ways we invest in Tampa Bay youth.

Every program traces back to the same mission: mentorship, education, and opportunity, backed by measurable outcomes

Youth Development

Kappa League mentors 122 young men through a structured leadership curriculum, pairing them with professional role models

Scholarship

Since 2023 we’ve awarded $132,000 to 67 students pursuing higher education through tiered giving levels

Financial Literacy

Supplemental curricula build the money-management habits that protect a scholarship investment long-term.

Education

Digital literacy classes have reached 150+ students, closing the technology gap for a modern economy

Community Impact

Three health fairs have delivered free screenings while mentees log 1,000+ service hours yearly

PROOF, NOT JUST PROMISES

Case studies, not case statements.

Two stories from our 2025–26 program year — documented in our case files and available in full detail on request.

KAPPA LEAGUE · CLASS OF 2026

He entered the program highly introverted, rarely speaking during meetings or activities. Over four years, he took on committee roles, grew into greater responsibility, and steadily built the confidence to lead — ultimately becoming a chapter officer. He’s now pursuing post-secondary education in aviation.

COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIR · SPRING 2026

To encourage attendees to use the free screenings, an event organizer volunteered to go first. His blood pressure reading came back dangerously high — he was completely asymptomatic and had no idea. He was transported for immediate treatment, catching a critical issue before it became an emergency.
