Friend,

Homecoming is a valued tradition—but it’s more than that. It’s a celebration of unity, culture and resilience. It’s a time to reflect on the way in which education and HBCUs have helped students to uplift themselves and their communities.

UNCF understands the importance of Homecoming, and we’re committed to keeping this tradition alive for generations to come. But to do so, we need your help—so we’ve set a goal to raise $50,000 by Oct. 31 at midnight to power our work.

Please, will you make a gift to UNCF today? Just as Homecoming celebrates the achievements of the past, your gift will help keep the doors to higher education open for bright, ambitious students.

Since they first opened their doors, HBCUs have produced leaders, artists, educators and activists who have fought for civil rights and equality. They’ve offered the opportunity of a high-quality education to countless talented students who otherwise would not receive one.

Today, UNCF carries the spirit of HBCUs forward. For 80 years, we’ve helped more than 550,000 students not only attend college but thrive in their careers.

As we commemorate Homecoming, your gift will continue this celebration’s legacy of breaking down barriers and empowering students.

So please, give now to help us reach our $50,000 goal by Oct. 31. Your support will help UNCF to honor this tradition and HBCUs while helping students to attend college and earn a degree.

Thank you,

UNCF
