Your Place For Positive Information About African Americans

Thank you for stopping by the
African American Success Foundation!

Mission Possible:

Promoting the Positive Image of African Americans

Our mission is to promote the positive image of African Americans. The African American Success Foundation (AASF) is dedicated to the collection and dissemination of information regarding African American achievements to aid in the replication of those successes, and to ensure their accurate portrayal in the global community.

AASF was founded because of concern about the inadequate portrayal of African American accomplishments, and the desire to shape future success. Its challenge is to combat the more pervasive negative imagery, stereotypes and mythology that undermine positive growth and development.

Our activities include:

• Information clearinghouse about the successes of African Americans.

• Check Out Our Newsletter "Spotlight On Success"

• Scientific research/think tank that identifies the attitudes and behaviors that make African Americans successful.

            Check out our Scientific Reports on 

 High Academic Achievers

• Charitable support using Black philanthropy to encourage graduate students and professionals to build upon the science of African American success by studying success issues.

If you are conducting research on
African American high academic achievers,

apply for the

Lydia Donaldson Tutt-Jones Memorial Research Grant

 The Grant Selection Committee met and determined that no proposals met the grant criteria for 2011. The Committee emphasizes that proposals MUST clearly indicate that the research focuses on high academic achievers and MUST focus on the attitudes, behaviors, and/or parental variables that cause them to attain academic success. Click on the link above for the grant criteria. All previous applicants are invited to re-review the criteria and reapply.

Thank You!

AASF is able to grow in its efforts to promote the positive image of African Americans thanks to the generosity of its individual donors whose contributions make this work possible.  Join us in recognizing them by visiting our Memorial Tribute,  Honor Tribute, and Donor Recognition pages.
