The Tom Joyner Foundation was founded in 1998 as the brain child of nationally syndicated radio personality, Tom Joyner. The mission has continued of supporting Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) with scholarship, endowment, and capacity building enhancements. Our Mission is to To provide programming initiatives and partnerships in support of historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) and its communities. The Foundation has provided the support to every HBCU in its 13 year history to help sustain, and preserve the legacies of these valuable institutions. Through fundraising and donor development initiatives, $65 million has been raised to support more than 29,000 students attending HBCUs. Additionally, the Foundation has recommended internships, matching grants support, and career development to deserving students. In the face of new challenges facing not only HBCUs, but our nationês entire educational system, the Tom Joyner Foundation has expanded its core mission to not only support HBCUs and their students, but to also support the communities that strengthen our schools. tomjoynerfoundation.org twitter.com/tomjoynerfound www.facebook.com/tomjoynerfoundation
