Greetings and Welcome to the IPCAF website
I am honored to serve as the inaugural president of the Ivy and Pearls Community Advancement Foundation, Inc. I am grateful to the Foundation's board of directors, membership, and community partners for their contributions to its development. We are excited to partner with you to promote the local community!

The IPCAF, Inc. was established in 2019 by members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Lambda Eta Omega Chapter, as a vehicle to broaden and improve the breadth of academic assistance and community improvement in Etowah County and nearby regions. The Foundation received its designation as a 501(c)(3) in 2020 by the Internal Revenue Service; contributions and donations are tax-deductible to the donor.

We look forward to collaborating with the Lambda Eta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., programs and initiatives, and the community to pursue financial opportunities to make significant contributions to higher education for as many students as possible.

Our mission is to emphasize scholarships to deserving students attending post-secondary institutions, sponsor initiatives to increase economic prowess, social well-being, and health, and educate the public on issues that impact the community.
