Here at Support Black Colleges, we support our beloved HBCUs in many ways! Below is a list of some of the ways we support both financially and non-financially (we believe support is a verb and not just a financial donation!):
1. We give the allotted percentage of proceeds of licensed merchandise directly back to the HBCU we are creating gear for.
2. We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising that directly exposes millions of people to HBCUs that may have once overlooked them.
3. We have a nonprofit entitled 'SBC Cares' that focuses on bringing innovation, mentorship, scholarship, and service to future, current, and alumni HBCU students.
4. We give scholarships/grants to high school students and current HBCU students to help aid them in their matriculation through their desired university/college.
5. We build relationships with influencers that are both aware and unaware of HBCUs and partner with them to help direct their audience to become exposed to HBCUs.
6. We donate our time as a team to different community service opportunities that directly affect HBCUs in a positive light.
7. We pay the schools directly to vend at Homecomings, Springfests and etc. which immediately stimulates the HBCU economy.
8. We are in the works of cementing a major partnership that will allow us to donate proceeds of our online/wholesale business directly to a HBCU related cause.
