Year
Dear Friends, Thank you for supporting the R.H. Boyd Family Endowment Fund! Your generous gifts have helped us provide nearly $1,000,000.00 in scholarships and grants since the Endowment Fund’s inception. Since 1981, we have provided scholarships to students matriculating at more than 25 different colleges and universities throughout the continental United States. Our scholarships have ranged from $2,500 to $8,000 for undergraduates as well as doctoral candidates. Eligible students attending an accredited college or university with a GPA of 3.2 or higher, majoring in Finance, Business Administration, Journalism, Theology, History, English, or Computer Science. These majors support R.H. Boyd’s business functions and mission. Below are a few updates from the R.H. Boyd Family Endowment: • We awarded $22,500 in scholarships to students at Spelman College, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Grambling State University, Vanderbilt University, and Chicago Theological Seminary. • A total of $32,500 was also awarded to non-profits, including The Nashville Symphony, Fannie Battle Day Home, Rejoice School of Ballet, Creative Girls Rock, and East Mt. Zion Baptist Church. • The Historic Boyd House on the Fisk University campus is nearing completion. • The second annual Legacy Ball raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the endowment. Mark your calendars for June 22, 2024, for the third annual Legacy Ball at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, TN. We are proud of what the endowment fund accomplished in 2023, and your support made this possible. My sincere thanks go out to you and your commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders and empowering those who serve daily in our communities. As we approach year’s end, we ask for your continued support. Regardless of the amount of your gift, Dr. Richard Henry Boyd’s legacy of investing in people and communities lives through your generosity. Please consider supporting our year-end giving campaign and our $50,000 goal on Giving Tuesday, November 28, 2023. You may give by visiting www.rhboyd.com/ endowment, by sending a check to the R.H.
