Nonprofit Organizations
The Foundation was conceived as a nonprofit affiliate of the Pi Lambda Lambda Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, and incorporated in the State of Virginia on April 19, 2005. We were granted an IRS 501 (c)3 status as a Public Charity on February 16, 2007. Our Foundation is named in honor of Dr. George M. Hampton for his steadfast dedication to providing scholarships to local youth and his commitment to social action that enhances the quality of life for citizens of Prince William County. Since our inception, the Foundation has contributed thousands of dollars to local youth scholarships and other youth support programs such as mentoring, essay contests, high school talent hunt programs, school supply drives etc. We also devote considerable funds annually to community service activities including: health fairs, blood drives, Diabetes and Cancer initiatives, food and clothing drives, and more.
Although the Foundation has a broad public focus, its primary mission is to promote and support the scholastic challenges of our youth and the educational underpinnings necessary for successful achievement in tomorrow’s society.
Our Foundation was founded on the idea of helping those in need. We endeavor to provide help where the need is greatest. Our team is made up entirely of volunteers. That is why we are especially happy to partner with other community organizations to promote benevolent activities throughout Prince William County and surrounding areas.
The mission of the George M. Hampton Scholarship and Community Action Foundation is to identify, obtain and direct resources to implement and support programs and activities that enhance the lives of individuals, particularly youth, within our community of Greater Prince William County, Virginia and beyond.
