Support African American Studies!

There are two distinct ways that you can offer financial support for our ongoing efforts:

1. The African American Studies Program Fund

The African American Studies Program Fund makes it possible for the program to engage in extracurricular activities that promote community building and public programming. Given the constraints of budgetary challenges, private sources of funding increase our options for creating a supportive environment for interactions among students, faculty, and the wider community. 

2. The James Haskins Visiting Scholar Fellowship Endowment Fund

Support African American Studies!

The African American Studies program at the University of Florida depends upon gifts from alumni and friends to fund student and faculty travel, research, and lecture series. If you would like to support the program, please consider making your gift today. The University of Florida Foundation, Inc. is the steward of all private support of the University of Florida.

  You can give online to The African American Studies Program Fund which makes it possible for the program to engage in extracurricular activities that promote community building and public programming. Private sources of funding increase our capacity for creating a supportive environment for interactions among students, faculty, and the wider community. 

   The James Haskins Visiting Scholar Fellowship Endowment Fund  honors the memory of the late James Haskins (1941-2005), a former University of Florida Professor of English and a distinguished writer who interpreted the African American experience. In well over 100 books, he exposed children and youth readers to the biographies of leading African Americans and key aspects of Black culture, social history, and contemporary life. The scope of his writings also extended beyond Black America to other parts of the world. 

  The James Haskins Visiting Scholar Fellowship Endowment Fund provides the critical resources needed to enable African American Studies to host emerging and established scholars with research interests that complement some aspect of the scholarly agenda of faculty within the program.

  You may also make a gift of cash, appreciated stocks and bonds, real estate, and through various planned giving opportunities through the college of Liberal Arts and Sciences Development and Alumni Affairs office. For more information, please contact Melissa Tyrone, Associate Director of Development and Alumni Affairs (352) 392-0624 or mtyrone@uff.ufl.edu.

hank you for supporting our stability and growth!
