Your Generosity Makes a Difference

At the Williams-Franklin Foundation, every dollar you donate helps us provide critical scholarships and support services to students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The Williams-Franklin Foundation ®is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and we fuel our mission with charitable contributions from companies and individuals like you. Your contribution not only aids in breaking down financial barriers but also empowers students to achieve their academic and professional aspirations.

Why Your Gift Matters

Create Opportunities

Your donation helps fund scholarships that enable talented students in extreme financial need to attend college, pursue their passions, and reach their full potential.

Foster Future Leaders

Support the development of the next generation of African American leaders. Your contribution ensures that HBCU students can access quality education and leadership training.

Build a Better Community

When you invest in education, you invest in the community. Graduates of HBCUs often return to their communities as role models and change-makers, creating a ripple effect of positive impact.

Financial Transparency

We commit to using your donations responsibly and efficiently. Read more about how your money is utilized and the success stories of students you’ve helped.

The Williams-Franklin Foundation seeks to make it as easy as possible for our friends and benefactors to contribute to the scholarship fund. There are several ways to contribute:
