TCF’s Denise A. Smith (@drde7.bsky.social) is featured on today's @marketplace.org discussing corporate giving to HBCUs, and the historic discrepancy in funding compared to PWIs. “Ivy League institutions receive 178 times more money in donations than HBCU...so there's a lot of work to be done.”

“There are some maybe wealthier institutions that would be okay, but that is not the case for HBCUs, predominantly Black institutions and community colleges.”

Big news: we are thrilled to welcome Angela Hanks as The Century Foundation’s Chief of Policy Programs! Angela most recently served as the Associate Director of External Affairs at the CFPB and brings a wealth of experience in shaping progressive policy. Join us in welcoming her to the team! 🎉

HBCUs have long faced systemic underfunding compared to predominantly white institutions. Now, with federal education grants on the chopping block, TCF’s Denise A. Smith (@drde7.bsky.social) discusses the changing landscape with @truthout.org.
