Happy Juneteenth, friend!

As we celebrate the moment when Black Americans seized their right to liberty, gifted students across the country need your help to pursue a strong education at an HBCU and take hold of the future of their dreams.

Will you please make a gift to UNCF today to help us reach our $15,000 Juneteenth goal before midnight tonight?

Among the UNCF student body, most students are from low-income families, 39 percent are first generation college students and over 70 percent of them are Pell Grant-eligible—meaning they are from families with financial need. Your support of UNCF is critical to the success of these and other gifted students, providing them with the tools and resources to get through college and change the trajectory of their lives.

But this work is only possible with the help of donors like you. So as you celebrate today, help deliver on the promise of Juneteenth by supporting talented students in getting to college and earning a degree by making a donation to UNCF before tonight’s midnight deadline.

Thank you for your generosity on this important day. Because “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.”^®
