Torch of Wisdom Foundation, Inc.

In 1990, the women of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc, Southfield Alumnae Chapter (SAC) envisioned acquiring a facility where youth and families could go for educational support, mentoring and recreation.

In September 2011, the vision was brought to fruition. The Torch of Wisdom Foundation, Inc. (TOWF) acquired a commercial office building, located at 21819 West Nine Mile Road, Southfield, Michigan, which houses their official office and SAC office, along with available space for meetings, training sessions and other community events. It is believed that this is the first African – American public charity to make such an investment in Oakland County. “Based upon the demonstrated value of the Torch of Wisdom Foundation and its goal to significantly serve more youth and the community-at-large, we were pleased to approve the foundation’s mortgage to help it achieve this milestone,” said CEO Dean Trudeau of the Public Service Credit Union.
