The Beginning
In 1987, a group of Omega Men of the Theta Alpha Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity saw the need to offer financial assistance to youth and families in the Dallas Metroplex. Theta Alpha Foundation, a Texas nonprofit corporation chartered on May 15, 1987, is a 501©(3)-community service organization. The Foundation became operative June 1989.Theta Alpha is a manifestation of a desire to find an appropriate conduit for active philanthropic support of deserving community-based projects. Although Foundation funds are generally targeted to the minority and disadvantaged communities, the Foundation Board of Directors seeks to assist in as many community projects as funds allow. TheBoard of Directors manages the affairs of the organization and the Corporation has no members. The foundation maintains an office at 2413 Martin Luther King Blvd. in Dallas, Texas 75215
