Cultured Pearls of Service, Incorporated (CPS) (formerly known as Rho Xi Omega Charities, Incorporated) was chartered in 1990. The foundation is the philanthropic partner of the Rho Xi Omega Chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. It was established primarily to more effectively manage its programs of service and expand funding opportunities.  

CPS is a 501(c)(3) Maryland corporation created to receive and administer funds for educational and charitable purposes and to make distributions to individuals and organizations to promote or enhance educational and charitable purposes. Key areas of focus include: programs that foster and encourage high scholastic achievement and provide financial assistance to worthy students; programs that promote peace, harmony and understanding in the world-wide community; and programs designed to counteract the negative socio-economic impact of poverty.

Currently, the chapter’s programs of service include five Targets: 1. HBCU for Life: A Call to Action; 2. Women's Healthcare and Wellness; 3. Building Your Economic Legacy; 4. The Arts!; and 5. Global Impact.

CPS in conjunction with Rho Xi Omega Chapter has awarded well over $125,000 in scholarships to college bound students and is the proud recipient of numerous awards and recognitions for its programs of service at its regional and national conferences. These include Midsize Chapter of the Year and Basileus of the Year (1993), Second Place Large Chapter of the Year (2005), Third Place Chapter of the Year (2002 Midsize, 2006 and 2013 Large), Economic Security Award (2010), Social Justice & Human Rights Award (2012, 2013), and Economic Security (2014).
