About Us

OUR WHY

The Excellence and Impact Foundation exists; to uplift and empower immigrant Africans with access, resources and opportunities for success they traditionally NEVER have inside their silo and bubbles, to bridge the cultural gaps that exist between the traditionally clustered immigrant African community and broader society, deepen ties for effective engagement. Assist them achieve their American dream and create shared prosperity for society at large. We also celebrate and honor the extraordinary accomplishments of immigrant Africans making a difference in our community.

Our Founder, Alpha Muluh has a natural gift of connecting with people and a passion of service to community. Through the expression of his natural gift and passion, Alpha has built an impressive network across all backgrounds, socio-economic classes, races, etc, serves on community boards, and has memberships in impactful organization. Expanding his social and professional networks through diverse relationships continues to be life transforming, empowering, fulfilling and full of opportunities.

But there was a MAJOR problem! Alpha was mostly the only immigrant African in these spaces of opportunity and resources.  He realized the need for a platform to share the rewarding richness of these diverse relationships, expansion of networks, showcase the diversity of talent and build resilient communities that benefit everyone.

OUR PURPOSE

To bridge cultural divides and deepen community ties, build stronger and compassionate connections between the immigrant African community and the broader American society. This creates an enriching and more inclusive society for all. Why is this important? Because diverse communities are more resilient, diversity is empowering and beneficial for all, diversity creates more opportunity and equality, and diverse communities are more innovative.

We highlight our shared values of hard work, sacrifice, dedication to our communities, respect, unity, collaboration, personal responsibility, equality, and ambition. We also celebrate our diverse backgrounds as a strength that fosters unity and not as a divide.  

Our programs and events build deeper connections for better collaboration, bridge cultural gaps and deepen mutual understanding for effective community engagement, provide access and resources to the chronically underrepresented immigrant African community across social and economic lines.

OUR MISSION

We focus on four critical areas of Healthcare, Education, Entrepreneurship and Leadership- HEEL. We build impactful relationships with partners and institutions in the United States and collaborate with partners and institutions across the African continent to drive sustainable positive action in the communities we serve. We drive positive changes through our educational content, social media engagement, podcast interviews and blogs, live events and interactive programs, leadership and development outreach.

OUR VISION

Our healthcare vision 2030 is to positively improve the lives of 5 million Africans through our strategic partnership with Project CURE by delivering 150 containers full of life saving medical supplies to the African continent. Our education vision 2030 is to empower and uplift 5 million Africans – 70% of this number must be young girls and women- through our strategic partnership with Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University. Our leadership vision 2030 is to 10X our network of Mandela Washington Fellowship alum for effective civic engagement and public management.  These are the critical building blocks necessary for Africans to compete and thrive in the digital age and contribute to global prosperity.

OUR CHALLENGE

We believe Africans should take an active role in solving African problems, outside philanthropy should be complimentary and not mandatory. We believe strongly in extreme ownership and personal responsibility. We challenge every immigrant African living in the United States to join our promise to connect communities and inspire the African dream, make Africa great again. Bring your talent, passion, gifts, influence networks, ideas, solutions, volunteer and join us to make Africa great again. We challenge you to look beyond your comfort and actively contribute to improving your homeland.

HOW WE DO IT

We are proud to adopt the Lean- Arbitrage-Model-Partnership- (LAMP). Why is this important? Because ruthless efficiency is essential for maximum impact, we do not build anything new, we leverage trusted existing networks as a force multiplier for the impact we create.

We collaborate with like-minded immigrant Africans and organizations in the United States and connect with positive change makers across Africa for positive outcomes in Healthcare, Education, Entrepreneurship and Leadership. We provide advisory services, and support select purpose-driven organizations that share our mission.
