Better Together

Make a donation now!

Four months ago, Johnson C. Smith University invited our community—including faculty, staff, alumni, donors, and partners—to join a bold and necessary effort: the Better Together Campaign.

In just four months, and because of your collective action, we have already secured 15 percent of our $10 million goal. This remarkable progress demonstrates what is possible when a community rallies around purpose and shared belief in the future of JCSU.

In response to your overwhelming support, your feedback, and the powerful fundraising momentum we are building together, we are pleased to announce that the Better Together Campaign has been extended through June 30, 2026!

We are only just getting started — and together, we will achieve something extraordinary. 

Making a financial gift to JCSU is not only important but also easy to do. Our JCSU Staff will work with you to ensure that your gift helps us create a brighter future for our students and for our University. As you consider where to donate, we encourage you to consider the JCSU Fund, as the need to increase our unrestricted giving is a top priority. Unrestricted giving allows the University to allocate essential money to areas that are in most need such as for general operating expenses, new academic and enrichment programs, and for addressing current unforeseen challenges that can threaten our future. As we focus on increasing our unrestricted funds, we also remain invested in elevating our areas of giving, too.

Give now!
