About UNCF Sunday
As we enter the New Year, Black History Month marks a busy time for the African American community. UNCF harkens back to its historical roots through a significant months-long local fundraising campaign that culminates in February—UNCF Sunday— bringing awareness to what really started it all for the organization: the church. Throughout the year, UNCF works with churches and faith groups across the country to implement UNCF Sundays, a day of financial support to HBCUs from congregations, culminating on a specific Sunday in February.

If you are a chapter member or community partner interested in attending church service and/or luncheon, please get in touch with our Chapter President, Lady Melissa Rolan, to RSVP by February 18, 2024.
