2027 UNCF “A Mind Is…” New England Gala
The 2027 “A Mind Is…” New England Gala will recognize outstanding partners who are helping to advance educational and career opportunities for deserving students. The funds raised will help ensure more students have access to a life-changing college education and the pathways to realize their fullest potential. Since its founding in 1944, UNCF has assisted more than 550,000 young men and women in attaining their college degrees.
We are the nation’s largest and most effective organization dedicated to supporting historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and ensuring first-generation college students persist and achieve a college education.
Our 82nd anniversary theme, “From Promise to Prosperity: UNCF Lights the Way,” reflects our mission to turn educational commitments into community-wide prosperity. We support students through scholarships and internship programs, strengthen our 36 member colleges and universities, and advocate for an equitable education for all. The evening promises to be full of inspiration as we celebrate the hard-work and dedication of our honorees and UNCF’s longstanding impact.
