Building a Lasting Legacy

The Ujima Legacy Fund Endowment is more than a financial resource—it is a commitment to our future. Rooted in the rich tradition of Black philanthropy, we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, ensuring that UJima Legacy Fund remains a pathway to opportunity for generations to come.

Our Collective Impact

Our ambitious goal, starting in 2023, is to raise $300,000 by the end of 2025. Since launching our endowment, we have:

• Grown our fund to $515,000 in just two years.

• Provided lasting support for organizations that align with our values in perpetuity

• Ensured the long-term sustainability of our mission to empower youth through education

Now, as we enter the third year of our campaign, our goal is clear: raise another $100,000 in 2025 to build on this momentum and secure our future.

Why This Moment Matters

This year is pivotal. Every dollar raised brings us closer to a future where Black men lead in philanthropy, education outcomes improve, and generational wealth is built within our communities. And thanks to the generosity of the Community Foundation of Greater Richmond, every contribution will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $100,000!

How You Can Make a Difference

This movement is bigger than any one of us—but it depends on all of us. You can help by:

• Making a donation—every dollar doubles in impact

• Encouraging others to give—spread the word within your network

• Investing in the next generation—because education changes lives

A Range of Giving Opportunities

We invite you to join us in building this legacy. We offer various giving options to suit your philanthropic goals, from the annual $1,100 membership contribution, multi-year gifts, and pledges to a lifetime membership gift of $25,000. Regardless of size, every contribution is vital in reaching our goal and creating lasting change.

Please make your gift today to help us reach our 2025 goal. Together, we can impact our children's lives and community for generations.
