In 1984, the Guide Right Foundation of Dallas, Inc. was created as a 501-c3 non-profit organization, with an emphasis on education, in order to more effectively reach out to corporate entities that might be reluctant to donate funds to a fraternity.  Chartered as the Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation, Inc. of Dallas, the name of the foundation was changed in 1991 to the Guide Right Foundation of Dallas, Inc, in order to avoid confusion with the Fraternity’s national foundation of the same name.  Since its inception the foundation has awarded over $90,000 in scholarships to deserving youth.  In October 2005, the foundation received the A. Maceo Smith Community Service Award from the African American Museum for its work in the area of Youth Service.
