The Pearl Foundation, Inc.

The Pearl Foundation, Inc. (The PF) supports scholarship and community service programs serving Long Beach, Carson, Compton, and surrounding areas. Here are a few of the programs making an impact:

The Pearl Scholars Program — Beyond awarding college scholarships to students from underserved communities, The PF provides dedicated support to help recipients successfully navigate their first year of college.

CHIPP (Childhood Hunger Initiative Power Pack) — Childhood hunger is real. Each month, The PF provides weekend meal packs filled with healthy breakfast, lunch, and dinner options for low-income and homeless preschool children at Precious Lamb Preschool in Long Beach. This program is administered in collaboration with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.®, Theta Alpha Omega Chapter.

Additional Programs — The PF supports a range of community initiatives designed to improve the lives of families in need, including programs focused on environmental wellness, economic empowerment, financial assistance, women's health awareness (including maternal health), and nonpartisan civic education such as voter outreach.

Through growing partnerships with organizations like Leadership Long Beach, the NAACP, Long Beach Health and Human Services, and the Long Beach Family Preservation Program, The PF continues to expand its reach — promoting health, economic security, and education across multigenerational and multicultural communities.

The Pearl Foundation, Inc. has big goals — and we need your help to reach them. Please consider giving.  Your support means everything.
