Ways to Give
Annual Giving provides a way for alumni, parents, employees, students and friends, like you, to make an immediate impact on Howard University and directly support every aspect of the educational experience.
Howard's central annual giving initiative is the Impact Howard Funds. The Impact Howard Funds are a collection of unrestricted giving opportunities designed to offer you a greater choice in where you direct your generosity. Whether you choose to support scholarships, research, infrastructure, student experiences, international student aid or a specific academic unit, your unrestricted support is a vital investment in Howard University.
When you make a gift as part of your long-term estate plan, you are investing in the future of Howard students. Provide long-lasting support for Howard while enjoying financial benefits for yourself.
