The Founders Day Challenge: What is Your Reason?

Story of Impact

Adrienne T. Hunter Brown C’2005

My most memorable Spelman experience was the opportunity to be around so many different cultures within the student body. I always enjoyed learning about other Spelmanites' traditions and religious customs. It made for a diverse set of women.


Did you know that Spelman was founded in 1881 with only $100 and a mission to provide the highest level of education for African American women in the South? The same amount in today’s dollars ($15,000) could build Spelman’s endowment for an exponentially greater impact in the next 130 years. Make investments that stand the test of time. Make an impact.

Change Means Light

Spelman Alumnae, this is Your Call to Action

Claflin University and Morehouse College, two of our fellow HBCUs, recently stated that they will be the first to achieve a 50% alumni participation rate.

We believe Spelman will be the first. To ensure this happens, we challenge 4,900 more alumnae to make a gift to the College by June 1, 2012.
