HBCU Collective Impact Announces New Campaign

The HBCU Collective Impact is a group of organizations that have joined together for the purpose of supporting the HBCU community with the power of a collective, united with the mission to elevate our impact through collaboration. The Collective Impact initiative is designed to elevate the richness of HBCUs, their distinctive history and legacy, and the excellence in the talent of HBCUs in the pursuit of equitable outcomes.

Current members of the Collective include Capital One, Deloitte, HBCU Research and Innovation Network (RAIN), NBA Foundation, Lockheed Martin, United Negro College Fund (UNCF) and Xerox.

WHY THE Y.A.R.D?

The “Power of the YARD: Young Achievers Realizing Dreams” is a value proposition campaign designed to provide a platform for HBCUs to tell their story with support and brand amplification from the Collective.
