In 1994, the men of the Lambda Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., along with the ladies of the Epsilon Zeta and Kappa Iota Zeta Chapters of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. formed the Sigma Zeta Foundation, Inc. The goal was to provide an organization that would serve to partner with and support other organizations, to promote positive activities that would encourage the spirit of community service and expand the educational, social, and economic opportunities for those in need. The foundation directors purchased the former East Point Women's Charities Club House at 2526 Delowe Drive in East Point, Georgia, branded it The Sigma Zeta Foundation headquarters, and set out on the mission to be a resource for those in need.
