HOW IT WORKS I Heart My HBCU is fast and easy to use! Users can download the app to their mobile device and link their bank account in as little as 60 seconds. Once connected, The I Heart My HBCU app will round change up to the nearest dollar from each credit or debit card purchase. The spare change will then be donated to the user’s five favourite . You can decide how the amount is divided amongst your five HBCUs and once your spare change reaches $5, a donation will automatically be distributed accordingly. But that’s not all! There are other ways to donate as well. You can set recurring weekly or monthly donations of at least $5 so that you can engage in automatic giving of larger amounts. Or you can give a one -time donation for the culture! However, you choose to do it, I Heart My HBCU helps you support the institutions you care about with ease.

SPONSORED BY THE COMMUNITY I Heart My HBCU was created because we know that it takes an entire community to create change. And we know that it can feel like one person alone will never make a difference. But I Heart My HBCU is changing that as we bring people together through their support of HBCUs to build an association based on wanting to connect and provide. Together we can use spare change to make change.
