HBCU and MSI Philanthropy

HBCU and MSI Philanthropy

Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and other minority serving institutions (MSIs) hold a unique place in American higher education. Historically, and even today, HBCUs have been funded by White philanthropists, but these institutions have also been sites of community philanthropy for racial uplift.
