Friend,

The facts speak for themselves: the HBCU Economic Impact Report proves that historically Black colleges and universities generate billions of dollars and create jobs—and develop our future leaders.

Our 2024 report helps to prove without a doubt that HBCUs are still needed—and when our lawmakers and candidates pledge to support these educational institutions and powerful economic engines, we can achieve so much more.

We want to make sure this report gets in front of a wide audience to help us make the case for continued funding to support the growth of HBCUs. Take a moment to check out the data on your state and the HBCU in your community, or see how your alma mater contributes to its local economy. You can also share the report with family, friends and your alumni network.

Need some inspiration? Check out our social media pages where you can find information about the report, celebrate HBCU milestones, hear from students and alumni, and stay up to date with UNCF.
