THE KRESGE FOUNDATION
From 2000 to 2005, the Kresge Foundation embarked on an unprecedented mission to help HBCUs with their advancement operations. The ambitious HBCU Initiative awarded five institutions grants and resources to build their advancement offices. Those institutions were Bethune-Cookman, Dillard, Johnson C. Smith, Meharry, and Xavier.
