17 Charities You Should Donate To This Black History Month

July 22, 2019

5 Thurgood Marshall College Fund

The Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) is only about 30 years old, but it’s the largest organization in the nation that represents HBCUs (historically black colleges and universities) and predominantly black institutions. Providing leadership, lobbying, job recruiting, and scholarships, TMCF helps to groom the next generation of cultural leaders.

Like EJI, they are also one of only a handful of organizations to receive a score of 100 on their transparency from Charity Navigator. And their achievements speak for themselves: In 2017 alone, they helped to confer more than 30,500 undergraduate degrees, 7,500 graduate degrees, and about 2,000 doctorate degrees.
