MAKING MEN OF CONSEQUENCE THE CAMPAIGN FOR MOREHOUSE COLLEGE
For more than 156 years, Morehouse College has been at the forefront of transformational change, developing enterprising Black men who use their influence and intellect to improve society. Our success in producing trailblazers is rooted in our mission to develop exceptional men with disciplined minds for lives of leadership and service. This philosophy compels Morehouse to set high expectations for every student we admit, to nurture their potential, and to propel them on the path to academic excellence and career success.
The proven result of this journey of self-exploration and development is the Morehouse Man. And it is no coincidence that you will find Morehouse Men in leadership in every industry, from politics and business to tech and the arts. We set the expectation for excellence the moment our scholars arrive on the Morehouse campus.
The Pillars of the Campaign are as follows:
With more investment, as the top producer of Black male excellence at scale, Morehouse could have an even greater impact in higher education. We need your help as we build the College of the future and expand our reach globally as a higher education icon and thought leader on issues of social justice, race, culture, equity, and inclusion.
Now is the time for Morehouse to step forward in a bold way. Morehouse can become the nation’s top liberal arts college with your support.
Morehouse has launched a historic $500 million fundraising campaign, Making Men of Consequence: The Campaign for Morehouse College, and identified four pillars of success. The Making Men of Consequence Campaign will run for five years, concluding in June 2026.

SUPPORTING THE CAMPAIGN FOR MOREHOUSE COLLEGE Why the Morehouse College “Making Men of Consequence” Campaign Matters
The Campaign for Morehouse is about making strategic investments in Morehouse College’s future as the institution offers its academic programs and thought leadership to new audiences beyond the campus’ borders. Our fundraising priorities are grounded in the College’s imperatives to:
• Enhance the Student Experience
• Enrich Community, Economic, and Family Life
• Expand International Reach
• Increase Research Opportunities
• Strengthen Stewardship
• Advance Our Culture of High Performance
Morehouse educates 2,300 students annually. Approximately 60% of rising Morehouse Men come from families with a household income of $40,000 or less. More than 80% of Morehouse scholars take out federal loans to pay for their education. Their families also tend to invest in their Morehouse education, which drains family finances. Black households have the highest rate of unemployment and the lowest median net worth, lagging behind Asian, white, and Latin American families. Taking on student loan debt further exacerbates the wealth gap between Blacks and other racial groups.
Morehouse College is working toward a future in which our endowment will allow the financial flexibility to support all deserving scholars, and the scholarships we offer students will be need blind. As more alumni and friends become involved in this goal, Morehouse will ensure that every qualified student—regardless of his finances—can afford a Morehouse education.
