Corporate Giving: Empowering & Transforming Communities!

Over the past ninety-five years the Urban League movement has partnered with the titans of American industry-long-established companies and dynamic new powerhouses-all engaged in the mission to eradicate institutional barriers to equal opportunity for all Americans, without regard to race, gender or ethnicity.

Corporate support of Urban League programs in education, housing, jobs/job training, health, civic engagement and civil rights and racial justice has helped narrow the opportunity gaps between blacks and whites significantly. Annually it helps us serve over 700,000 in early childhood and after school programs, has allowed us to award over $10 million in college scholarships since 1999, and helps thousands of children and families gain access to homeownership opportunities.

Today there are more African-American college graduates, homeowners, professional and entrepreneurs than at any other time in our nation. But there is still much more to be done.

With your support each day Urban League affiliates in over 35 states are helping to empower communities through economic revitalization, homeownership opportunities and long-term strategies for wealth building.

Contact: Lynn Law, VP Corporations if you are with a corporation and are interested in learning more about the League or in providing support.

We thank you for your commitment!
