Preserving Our Legacy Help us help our HBCUs on North Texas Giving Day

Posted By: Hija Chang on September 20, 2018

For over a century, Historically Black Colleges and Universities have educated and nurtured our students. In the face of adversity, these institutions have overcome numerous obstacles and accomplished the unthinkable.

HBCUs are home to some of the most talented students in the U.S. and beyond. They are raising the bar and reshaping the world we live in for the better.

Thousands of HBCU graduates have gone on to lead companies, served as judges, developed life-saving medical procedures, invented technology to make life easier and led movements that have changed the world.

Over 100 of our Historically Black Colleges and Universities are still standing. Help us help our institutions of higher learning survive the next century. They need us and we need them.

Donate and support today.
