The 2025 UNCF “A Mind Is…” Gala New York will recognize outstanding partners who are helping to advance educational opportunities for the young people we serve.

This premiere event promises to be an enlightening and enjoyable time for our guests while raising funds for our HBCUs, celebrating their impact, and assisting the students who attend them in obtaining their college degrees.
