Our Foundation's Origin
 
The Wiregrass Uplift Foundation, Inc. is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded on March 17, 2021, by members of the Kappa Beta Beta Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.—Dr. Kenneth C. Brown, Eric O. Curtis, Jr., Thomas B. Elder, Sr., LaDray B. Gilbert, Esq., Charlie Mahone, and Jonathan D. Smith. The Foundation was established with the mission of providing community service, health outreach, and educational support to the Wiregrass area.
 
The Wiregrass Uplift Foundation, Inc. began with just a few volunteers and has since expanded its volunteer base. As the organization continues to grow, it has awarded scholarships to graduating high school seniors, participated in community youth development initiatives, and organized clothing, shoe, and school supply drives. Through networking and partnerships with local organizations across the Wiregrass Area, the Foundation remains committed to supporting and uplifting the community.
