Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. – Financial Empowerment & Mentorship Initiative
Overview of the Initiative
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., in partnership with the RARE Foundation and Equifax, is launching a groundbreaking initiative aimed at raising funds to support mentorship programs and scholarships, while simultaneously providing financial literacy and identity theft protection to our fraternity members and their families. This initiative is designed to not only uplift young men through education and leadership development but also to equip our communities with essential financial tools to safeguard their identities and credit.
Key Elements of the Initiative
Financial Empowerment through Identity Protection: In response to the growing threat of identity theft—5 billion identities stolen in 2024 alone—this initiative offers every donor a FREE 1-year Equifax Complete Premier Membership. This membership, valued at $250, provides comprehensive identity theft protection, credit monitoring, and financial security services for our members and their families.
Scholarship and Mentorship Funding: Through this initiative, Omega Psi Phi aims to raise $5 million. All proceeds from donations will support our longstanding efforts to provide scholarships to high-achieving students and mentorship programs that focus on developing leadership skills and fostering personal growth among African American youth.
Exclusive Limited Edition Book: Donors will receive a copy of “Who Stole My Identity?”, an educational resource on identity theft and credit protection. This special edition will be distributed to schools, colleges, and organizations within the Divine 9, ensuring the message of financial literacy reaches far and wide.
Why This Initiative Matters
Education and Leadership: The funds raised will help Omega Psi Phi continue to provide scholarships to deserving students and support mentorship programs that shape the next generation of leaders.
Community Protection: With identity theft on the rise, this initiative not only raises funds but also directly protects fraternity members and their families by offering a high-value service—identity theft protection—at no cost to the donor.
Innovative Fundraising Approach: While traditional fundraisers like selling cookies or license plates have their place, this initiative takes a modern approach by offering financial services and education that have a lasting impact on our community. It aligns perfectly with Omega Psi Phi’s mission to empower, uplift, and protect.
How It Works

All donations are tax-deductible, offering both the benefit of supporting a great cause and personal financial protection.
