HT RECEIVES $600,000
UNCF CAPACITY BUILDING GRANT
(AUSTIN, Texas) 6.11.07 — Designed to accelerate growth, build sustainability, and provide the foundation for a capital campaign, Huston-Tillotson University was awarded a $600,000 grant from the United Negro College Fund’s (UNCF) Institute for Capacity Building’s (ICB) Institutional Advancement Program.
“We are positioning Huston-Tillotson for its first multi-million dollar capital campaign designed to complete the campus expansion project and double the endowment,” said Larry L. Earvin, Ph.D., President and CEO.
Huston-Tillotson received its first $200,000 from UNCF, which was targeted to assist advancement and development operations during the minimum three year and maximum five year periods according to Vicki Minor, Vice President for Institutional Advancement. Minor, who joined the University in 2003, manages alumni affairs, development, public relations, and grants and proposals. The grant supported a software upgrade for fund-raising and donor tracking in addition to specialized personnel, expert UNCF consultation, and new development strategies to support the University’s ten-year strategic plan for growth.
The ICB exists to support the ongoing advancement efforts of UNCF’s 39 member institutions in the areas of fund-raising, enrollment, academic programming and faculty development, financial management, historic preservation, executive leadership, and governance. Huston-Tillotson, formed after the merger of two former institutions, Samuel Huston College, founded in 1875, and Tillotson College, established in 1876, is Austin’s oldest institution of higher education and a charter member of UNCF.
Huston-Tillotson, Bennett College, Talladega College, and Virginia Union University were among the first institutions selected to receive the grant.
