The Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) is greatly pleased to have been recognized by MacKenzie Scott to be among 116 organizations “driving change” in America, and to have received a generous donation from her in support of our efforts to empower and provide transformational opportunities to students attending the Historically Black College and Universities (HBCU) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBI) that we support.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire staff of TMCF, I can unequivocally say that we are profoundly appreciative of this most generous gift from MacKenzie Scott,” said TMCF President & CEO, Harry L. Williams. “This donation will help to ensure the long-term vitality of TMCF and enable us to continue our work to help identify and nurture HBCU and PBI students to become the next generation of global leaders.”

“Consistent with our mission, this donation will enable us to give even more scholarships to our member-school students to help them to persist and graduate from college, as well as continue the impactful programmatic work we provide to those same students to help them prepare for their professional aspirations,” said Williams.
