UNCF Institute for Capacity Building

The United Negro College Fund is the nation’s oldest and biggest advocate of Black higher education.

‍

We are honored to work with the UNCF’s Institute for Capacity Building to further the outsized impact of the nation’s 102 Historically Black Colleges and Universities and 64 Primarily Black Institutions. 

‍

From assisting with program design to developing a new website and preparing fundraising pitches, we’ve become a trusted partner in propelling student success, community advancement and the fight for racial-justice equity despite historic and ongoing underfunding and marginalization of Black colleges and universities. 

‍

We’ve led intensive media tours, providing compelling photography, interview and campus footage of more than 20 Black colleges and universities. We’ve also played an instrumental role in growing and amplifying their annual gathering of Black higher education. After we helped rebrand this conference to UNITE, both attendance and sponsorship more than tripled. 

‍

UNCF has also tapped us for many other projects, including supporting the strategic communications of the HBCU Transformation Project funded by Blue Meridian Partners and the promotion of Target Scholars. We’ve also helped prepare several pitches, including the one for HBCUv (an innovative virtual learning platform that brings the best of Black higher education online), as well as reports, including the latest on the mental health of Black college students.
