The Hortense B. Perry Foundation is a 501 C3 Charitable entity of the Eta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
The primary purpose of the HBP Foundation is the promotion of “high scholastic” achievement for high school girls and college women. In 2017, $60,000 was awarded to high school seniors and college students through direct and book scholarships. Funding also is provided to the Black Achievers Program for a four-year scholarship for a high school senior.
Eta Omega and the Foundation desire to develop a signature address in the California neighborhood serving the respective memberships and the broader community. The primary purpose of the facility is to provide a headquarters and community center for Eta Omega to carry out its mission “To be of Service to all Mankind.”
