All 102 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU's) together have an endowment of USD 4 b. Harvard's endowment alone is USD 50 b. So, this USD 100 m donation will be put together in a pooled endowment for HCBU's. This will become part of a USD 370 m pooled endowment. Pooled investments allow for better investments and grow more quickly. HCBU's will only be able to take a small percentage out every year so that the endowment can keep growing. HBCU's have been increasingly important as affirmative action gets struck down and the backlash against EDI. https://lnkd.in/g_sEJXhb

Philanthropists are stepping up to address the long-standing funding inequities faced by Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Spelman College recently received a monumental $100 million donation from Ronda Stryker and William Johnston, marking the largest single donation to an #HBCU. This follows a $100 million gift to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) from the Lilly Endowment Inc. The influx of donations, highlights the critical need for endowment funding to empower HBCUs to fulfill their missions. These unrestricted funds provide flexibility for scholarships, facility improvements, research, and academic expansion. However, despite this progress, HBCUs continue to grapple with significant funding disparities compared to predominantly white institutions. The gap in endowment sizes remains staggering, hindering HBCUs' ability to invest in their future.

It's genuinely awe-inspiring to witness the monumental impact that philanthropic gestures can have, particularly in the realm of education. 🌟 The generosity demonstrated by Ronda Stryker and William Johnston in supporting Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) is nothing short of remarkable. Their actions not only spotlight the critical importance and the immense power of support for HBCUs, but they also set a sterling example for all of us. Let's consider this incredible act of kindness not just as an isolated gesture, but as a clarion call for action. It’s an invitation for each of us to look within and find ways we too can contribute. Whether it’s through volunteering, donating, or simply spreading the word, we all have something valuable to offer. 💪📚 Let us draw inspiration from Ronda Stryker and William Johnston's exemplary commitment to bettering the world through education. Let their generosity remind us of the ripple effect our collective actions can create. Together, let’s make a difference in supporting the growth and success of HBCUs. It’s about building a brighter future by understanding the value and impact of our contributions, no matter the size.
I am delighted that #philanthropists Ronda Stryker and her husband, William Johnston, have made a historic donation of $100 million to #HBCU Spelman College. Made in January of this year, his remarkable contribution includes $75 million to endow scholarships and $25 million to improve student housing, develop an academic focus on public policy and more. This contribution marks the largest single donation in the college's history. Donations like these are crucial for HBCUs, which have long been underfunded compared to other educational institutions. The impact of this gift extends far beyond the pure dollar amount – it sends a powerful message of support and recognition for the invaluable role that HBCUs play in shaping the leaders of tomorrow. I applaud Ronda Stryker and William Johnston for their generosity and vision. Their donation is a testament to the positive impact that individuals can have on #education and the broader community. Let’s continue to support and uplift HBCUs, ensuring that they have the resources they need to thrive and empower future generations. Read more. https://bit.ly/3PIDR9g
