Programs We Support Impact Our Community
Since 2013, the Omega Charitable Foundation of Omaha has served the community through programs that uplift, protect, and empower.
Our Signature Program
Omaha Beautillion
Founded by the Urban League of Nebraska Guild in 1977, carried forward by the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Beta Upsilon Chapter, in 2008, and transitioned to the Omega Charitable Foundation of Omaha in 2013. The Beautillion serves high school senior males and celebrates the unique bond between mothers and sons. Participants raise their own funds and earn a share back as a college scholarship.
Community Impact
Programs We Support
Before the Casket
An anti-violence program confronting young adults with the real cost of gun violence. Participants attend a mock funeral in a church and view a mirrored casket that reflects their own image looking back at them — followed by candid conversation with EMTs, law enforcement, coroners, and family members who describe how a child's or teenager's violent death changed their lives forever.
Domestic Violence Walk
Launched in 2025 in partnership with the WCA, this walk unites the community in support of survivors and advocacy for change.
Omega sQuires
Since 2009, Omega sQuires at North High School has built young men's professional, social, and leadership skills around four pillars: scholarship, fitness, service, and leadership. The program's mission is to shape well-rounded individuals, successful professionals, and community leaders.
Project Hope
In partnership with CASA for Douglas County, Project Hope supports youth entering foster care — children who often arrive with nothing but the clothes they're wearing. The program provides Hope Packs filled with hygiene and comfort essentials, offering dignity and emotional support at one of the hardest moments in a child's life.
Project Manhood & Friends
A 20+ year collaboration with Central Park Elementary School serving at-risk youth in grades 4–6, providing positive leadership, mentorship, and access to experiences participants might not otherwise have.
