As a second-generation Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) graduate, I feel that attending an HBCU is one of the best experiences an individual can have. HBCUs will continue to evolve with diverse faculty, student population, and staff and professors dedicated to facilitating learning among all students. However, higher education institutions face several challenges. In this article, I have identified fundraising issues in higher education and provided ways for administrators, educators, students, and others to motivate HBCU alumni to contribute to their alma mater.
