DONOR RESOURCE CENTER

Each year, at companies all around the country, individuals contribute millions of dollars to support worthy causes and organizations such as The HBCU Foundation and still, so many young people’s dreams of a college education and access to the most fulfilling career opportunities go unrealized. With your help, we can make a difference in the lives of deserving students and their families, one kind act at a time.

Our Donor Resource Center provides information and links to resources, to help you find a way to support our work, in a way that suits you.

 

WORKPLACE GIVING

The HBCU Foundation offers three options for supporting HBCU students and schools from your workplace:  payroll deduction, matching gifts and Workplace Impact Committees (WICS).

PAYROLL CONTRIBUTIONS:  PHILANTHROPY 101

A large number of employers offer payroll deduction as an optional service to their employees. Making a gift each pay period through payroll deduction is a simple way to provide support to  students who otherwise may not have the resources to complete college. Further, there is no minimum donation requirement, so you simply designate a donation amount you can afford.   Imagine if you will that your $3 to $5 weekly donation can help a student with books and/fees for an entire semester while a $50 weekly donation might for example, help a student with room and board for an entire school year.  Your gift matters.

To sign up in support of The HBCU Foundation via payroll deduction, see your Human Resources Department and complete and submit the form they provide.

 

MATCHING GIFTS

Employee Matching Gifts are donations an employer makes to match its employees’ charitable contributions. Usually associated with corporate grantmakers, employee matching gifts often are dollar-for-dollar, but some companies will give double or even triple the original donation.

Guidelines and amounts vary with each company. Typically, individuals must submit forms to their employers. You can get more information about your employer’s matching gift benefits from your human resources department.

WORKPLACE IMPACT COMMITTEES: TAKING ACTION AND SERVING OTHERS

As we  grow the giving capacity of The HBCU Foundation, we’re asking for the support of motivated employees to create programs within their organizations in support of our mission.  These Workplace Impact Committee (WICS) members create and chose the desired outcomes for each program.  Participation includes volunteer support and support for fund raising activities that support the program created by the committee members.

    • To join or start a Workplace Impact Committee at your company, contact us at [email protected].

RECCURING GIFTS

A generous monthly gift of $20 can go a long way towards easing the financial burden on a deserving student attending college.  $50, $75, or  more, can have an even greater impact on the futures of our students.  Your monthly gift is used to help cover the assorted costs associated with students’ lab fees, supplies and equipment.  By signing up online for a recurring monthly donation, or by authorizing an electronic funds transfer, your gift can automatically be processed on the same day of each month.
