All 102 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU's) together have an endowment of USD 4 b. Harvard's endowment alone is USD 50 b. So, this USD 100 m donation will be put together in a pooled endowment for HCBU's. This will become part of a USD 370 m pooled endowment. Pooled investments allow for better investments and grow more quickly. HCBU's will only be able to take a small percentage out every year so that the endowment can keep growing. HBCU's have been increasingly important as affirmative action gets struck down and the backlash against EDI. https://lnkd.in/g_sEJXhb
