UNCF seeks your partnership support for the 2021 South Florida Leader’s Luncheon benefiting UNCF. Net proceeds from this fundraising event will support UNCF’s education mission and help break the financial barriers that prevent so many talented students from earning a college degree. Our request is in line with your company’s commitment to increasing educational opportunities for minority students in our community and increasing the educated workforce pipeline in our nation. UNCF-member colleges graduate more African American students than other private colleges or public universities, and their low tuition rates are 26 percent less than those charged by other private colleges. Because college graduates earn higher incomes than non-graduates, your partnership will be an investment in the future teachers, business leaders, engineers, physicians, and other professionals who will graduate from UNCF-member colleges to become productive participants in their communities and in the nation’s economy.

We’re going live!
