Resources for Member Institutions
One of the benefits of being a UNCF Member Institution is access to UNCF resources, valuable information and tools to assist with building and sharing your institution’s story with the world. UNCF strives to provide varied support. As a result, BM&C has developed this resource page especially for Communications and Public Relations professionals in UNCF Member Institutions. The page is a one-stop shop of information and service links.
