The 1895 Project

06/01/2026

We’re excited to expand our volunteer teams as we prepare for two impactful initiatives: our HBCU College Fair and the 2027 Spring Cotillion Planning Committee.

These programs are dedicated to uplifting, educating, and empowering youth while strengthening connections across our community, and we are looking for passionate volunteers to help bring these visions to life.

Whether your strengths are in planning, outreach, fundraising, logistics, or general support, there is a place for you on our team. Every role helps move the mission forward.

If you’re interested in volunteering, please reach out to us directly at [email protected]

We look forward to building something powerful together for our students, families, and future leaders.

🌼 Memorial Day: A Time for Reflection 🌼

On this Memorial Day, we pause to reflect on the lives and stories that have shaped our communities. At the 1895 Project, we believe in honoring the memories of those who have come before us, our family members, friends, and neighbors who have contributed to the tapestry of our shared history.

🔹 A Historical Perspective: Established in the late 19th century, Memorial Day was originally a time to commemorate loved ones lost. It’s a reminder of the importance of remembering our roots and the people who have made a lasting impact on our lives.

Let’s come together to cherish the memories that unite us. 🌷

Behind every opportunity is a student with potential,and a community that believes in them.

As Give to Lincoln Day approaches, we invite you to invest in that potential. Through programs like our HBCU College Fair, Cotillion, and Global Pathways, we are creating experiences that shape futures.

This picture says it all.

New places. New perspectives. New possibilities. 🌍✨

For many of these students, this Global Pathways trip was their first time traveling, exploring new cultures, and seeing what’s truly possible for their future.

And it happened because of support from people like you.

💙 This Give to Lincoln Day, we’re raising funds to make sure even more students get this opportunity.

Every donation helps open doors, build confidence, and change lives.
