Who We Are
We Champion Educational Success
"Empowering students through opportunity, encouragement, and investment in their future."
For over two decades, the Xipi Uplift Foundation has proudly celebrated academic achievement by awarding scholarships to deserving youth across Colorado and beyond. We believe every student deserves the chance to succeed — regardless of background — and we’re committed to investing in tomorrow’s leaders.
Through our annual scholarship program, we honor hard work, uplift aspirations, and help students take the next step toward a brighter future. From local high schools to major universities, our scholars are creating impact, one degree at a time.
Donate & Make a Difference
When you give to the Xi Pi Uplift Foundation, you’re not just donating — you’re investing in the future of a young student, supporting vital health initiatives, and strengthening the community right here in the Pikes Peak Region. Every contribution — big or small — goes directly toward our scholarship programs, youth development events, and charitable outreach efforts.
About The Program
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. is the first international fraternal organization founded on the campus of a historically black college. It was founded in Thirkield Hall at Howard University located in Washington, D.C. The founders were three undergraduates students; Edgar Amos Love, Oscar James Cooper and Frank Coleman. Joining them was their faculty adviser, Ernest Everett Just. The motto selected was “friendship is essential to the soul.” Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift were adopted as the Cardinal Principles.
On November 23, 1911, Edgar A. Love became the first Grand Basileus (National President). Oscar J. Cooper and Frank Coleman were selected to be the Grand Keeper of the Records (National Secretary) and Grand Keeper of Seals (National Treasurer), respectively. Eleven undergraduate men were selected to become the charter members.
Omega continues to flourish, largely because founders — Cooper, Coleman, Love and Just — were men of the highest ideals and intellect. The founders selected and attracted men of similar ideals and characteristics. It is not an accident that many of America’s great black men are or were Omega Men.
Since its humble beginnings on the Howard University campus, the Omega Psi Phi fraternity continues to be on the front line, leveraging its power, influence and more than 100 years of commitment to the uplift of our people and our communities.
Helping young people to make good things happen in their lives.
How We Impact The Community
With a strong foundation in service and leadership, we strive to create lasting change by helping young people make good things happen in their lives.
We’ve awarded over $328K in scholarships to local high school students—helping them take their first step toward a brighter future through higher education.
We believe lasting impact starts at the local level, and that's why 100% of our efforts are focused right here at home. We're proud to serve, support, and uplift the very community we call family.
As the charitable arm of the Xi Pi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., we carry forward a legacy of brotherhood, leadership, and community uplift—impacting lives with purpose and integrity.
