Ways to Donate to Help Students
UNCF is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, and your donation is tax deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. Please keep your receipt as your official record. We'll email it to you upon successful completion of your donation.
College tuition hikes and decreasing federal financial aid are causing an increasing number of students to apply to UNCF for assistance each year.
However, we can only support one out of every 10 students who applies. Therefore, nine out of 10 deserving, ambitious students have to be told “no.” Why? Because we do not have sufficient funds. We get no funding from the government, so we operate only via donations. The students we support are our future American health professionals, social workers, teachers, engineers, and military men and women—they are the Better Futures™ we are seeking—the future prosperity of our nation.
We must do more. And with your help we can.
UNCF offers a variety of convenient ways for you to give meaningful gifts that can help students and our HBCUs. Please do as much as you can because “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.”®
