HBCU Coaches can win championships but a lack of resources blocks next-level opportunities.
HBCU Proud Foundation is on a mission to rebuild championship HBCU sports teams, and your help can make our efforts go even further.
​
HBCU athletics is a growth industry and quickly gaining a competitive edge. Hiring and retaining top talent throughout HBCU athletic departments and recruiting elite-level athletes is vital to its continued success.
It's time to stop hypothesizing about what would happen to HBCU sports programs IF they had MONEY for better coaches, better trainers, better facilities, better players, etc. Support your team - get your friends involved - and give HBCU athletics the resources they need to compete.
Consider participating in our recurring giving program
The HBCU Proud Faithful 5000 campaign asks 5000 HBCU supporters to rally behind their favorite HBCU and donate $20 each month for at least one year. Your donations have the power to change the game for HBCUs. Can you imagine the impact an extra $100,000* per month or $1.2 million* a year can have within HBCU athletic departments?
​
