    As I have said many times before, you can donate to ANY school. If you attended an elite college - every time they hit you up, send your money to an HBCU, a community college or an access public instead.https://twitter.com/SylviaBrownSD/status/1126993656798380032 …

    The 20 top schools raised 28% of the $46 billion given to #highereducation last year. How can #alumni give with more impact? I share my thoughts w/ @encore @opedproject fellow @AyeleShakur: https://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2019/05/07/college-donation-inequality-sylvia-brown-ayele-shakur … #philanthropy #giving

        don't give to community colleges who promote gig economy adjunct jobs and save the fat checks for "administrators."

        Good point, and also when choosing, give to community colleges that consistently turn out students who find good jobs

        Yes! The need is great and widespread. Even a little really matters.

        My husband got his PhD from Hopkins. They ask for money and we keep giving to the VA state school where we met as undergrads (and where he now works). Hopkins doesn't need our cash. (And VCU is on our list to visit for our HS daughter.)

        This week @LehmanCollege I found out about a student one course and $1000 financial hold shy of graduating, thanks to giving (and student services who swept into help) she got a micro-loan and she will finish her degree this summer :-). 💃🙏

        #FAMU gave me a full ride. My grad school did not. FAMU gets my love (verbal and financial). A friend pointed out to me when I was pissed the HBCUs showed up in Trump's oval office; if I'm not contributing I can't complain. They need the $. #Donate #HBCU
