At the heart of the black community, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have long been beacons of educational excellence. They've played a significant role in shaping leaders across various sectors, yet a financial disparity remains in HBCUs' endowment funding.

A critical aspect of our mission is to educate current students and alumni about the importance of giving back to our community. Unfortunately, many HBCU alumni are not contributing to their alma mater, leading to a stagnation in HBCU endowments. We aim to change this narrative and ignite a culture of giving and support.
Looking ahead, we envision a large number of students and alumni using PoetrYY as their primary account for everyday spending. This not only fosters financial literacy but also encourages a sense of collective responsibility towards strengthening their HBCUs.
We invite you tobjoin us in fortifying the pillars of our community - our HBCUs. Let's ensure they continue to provide quality education and produce future leaders for generations to come. Embrace PoetrYY today and make your invaluable contribution to the future of HBCUs. Remember, your support, regardless of its size, truly makes a difference.
