Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. donated $50,000 to the Florida A&M University Foundation Endowment. The money was raised as part of the sorority’s efforts to boost the size of endowments at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Representatives from the service organization made the presentation at the end of the President’s Convocation in the Al Lawson Gym and Multipurpose Center on Sept.10.
For the past three years, AKAs have held annual a $1 million HBCU Impact Day Initiative Day to raise money for HBCUs. In 2021, the sorority donated $1.6 million to 35 eligible four-year HBCUs, including FAMU.
