The HRC Foundation's HBCU Program is the only national project that partners with Historically Black Colleges and Universities on establishing an LGBTQ+ inclusive campus climate.
HRC Foundation’s Historically Black College and Universities (HBCU) Program mobilizes and supports HBCUs in enhancing policies and services that promote excellence in LGBTQ+ inclusion, equity, and engagement. We focus on promoting individual competencies and collective action, empowering leaders and stakeholders, and building a network of committed leaders in pursuit of eliminating stigma and enriching the college experience for LGBTQ+ students and the entire student body.
