The opportunity is great.
The time to act is now.
Join us on this journey.
Higher education should be accessible to all. While HBCUs have embodied this belief, they continue to bear the weight of historical underfunding. UNCF is leading a nationwide movement to achieve transformational change for HBCUs and the communities they impact across the nation.
A Moment to a Movement
The Moment
Events in 2020 sparked more conversation about what equality and justice means in the United States. As a result, UNCF raised an unprecedented amount of money thanks to donors who were moved to make an impact.
The Movement
Today, we seek to further this support into a broad-based coalition of donors who have at their hands the opportunity to create more paths to higher education and support students when they get there. Together, we will raise $1 billion through 2027 to support five pillars of transformation and usher in the next golden era of student achievement.
