HCF's "I Love My HBCU" Alumni Campaign

HBCU Campaign Fund's (HCF) Division of Alumni Affairs announces it's three-month long "I Love My HBCU" Alumni campaign beginning on Wednesday, March 14, 2018, and ending June 14, 2018. Sampled by the Thurgood Marshall College Fund and Prairie View A&M University, I Love My HBCU Month was created to encourage alumni and friends of Historically Black Colleges and Universities to give to their Universities as a way of demonstrating their affinity. HCF is initiating its campaign in March 2018 which will identify alumni ambassadors who can speak on their HBCU experience, why they love their HBCU and encourage others to donate to their HBCU during the campaign months.

Alumni who participate in this campaign will be highlighted on HCF's website and social media platforms, speaking on their HBCU experience, why they love their HBCU and encouraging others to donate. The official hashtag for this campaign is . Before participants are highlighted, [they must submit a physical donation or contribution receipt in pdf format from their HBCU as proof that they have donated to their HBCU dated between March 14, 2018, and June 14, 2018, or have donated to HCF.]

Monies received in this campaign will go to their HBCU Foundation Funds or HCF unrestricted fund that serves the organization. HCF hopes that alumni will enroll in recurring gift program for their HBCU.

Incentives and gifts will be available to donors who participate in this campaign from HCF. Everyone who donates will receive an HCF “I Love My HBCU” button. Those who gift $50 to the campaign will receive a limited edition “I Love My HBCU” pendant.
