Friend,

As we approach the end of 2024, we at UNCF (United Negro College Fund) invite you to reflect on a remarkable year filled with celebration and achievement.

This year marks the celebration of our 80th anniversary, a time to honor our founders, supporters and beneficiaries while inspiring a new generation to carry forward our mission.

Join us in celebrating this momentous anniversary by making a gift today to help support tomorrow’s leaders.

Over the past eight decades, you have played a vital role in advancing HBCUs and empowering dreams for countless individuals. The impact of HBCUs is substantial, contributing a cumulative national economic impact of $16.5 billion and generating an additional $146 billion in lifetime earnings for their graduates.

Yet we still face some critical challenges: each year, we administer over 400 scholarship and fellowship programs but can fulfill only one in every 10 requests for financial support. Operating without federal funds, we rely on contributions to sustain our member HBCUs and their students.

As we conclude this momentous anniversary, we invite you to continue making a difference in the lives of students of color.

Please, will you consider making a contribution to empower the next generation and ensure they have access to the educational opportunities necessary for success?

Thank you for being a vital part of the UNCF family. Here's to 80 more years of profound impact for the future generation!
