Programs That We Support
The 1911 Foundation supports a range of initiatives carried out in partnership with the Eta Nu Nu Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Together, we help advance programs that address educational opportunity, health disparities, youth development, and community well-being throughout Greater Columbus. Our support helps provide resources and opportunities that allow these initiatives to reach more people and create a lasting impact.
Education & Scholarships
Education is at the heart of our commitment to creating opportunity. In partnership with Eta Nu Nu, the 1911 Foundation supports scholarship and educational initiatives that help students pursue higher education, develop their talents, and reach their full potential. Eta Nu Nu's scholarship efforts include support for graduating high school seniors, the Benjamin "Pops" Wilson Talent Hunt, performing arts scholarships, and programs that help students pursue opportunities at colleges and universities, including HBCUs.
Youth Development & Mentoring
We believe investing in young people means investing in the future of our communities. We support programs that provide students with mentoring, academic enrichment, STEM exposure, leadership development, and opportunities to build confidence and explore their potential. Initiatives such as Chess for Success and STEM engage students across Greater Columbus and create meaningful connections between young people and positive role models.
Health & Wellness
Improving health and addressing health disparities are central to our partnership with Eta Nu Nu. Together, we support initiatives that bring health education, screenings, resources, and conversations about prevention directly into the community. Signature programs include Survivorship: A Celebration of Life Beyond the Struggle, Man P.L.E.A.S.E. Check Yourself!, and the Walk With Me Sugar 5K Run/Walk Against Diabetes. These initiatives focus on issues that disproportionately affect Black communities while creating opportunities for individuals and families to become more informed and proactive about their health.
