About Us: The Black Gifted and Whole Foundation is a two-fold intermediary organization that works with HBCU’s to address the issues of low enrollment by providing a pipeline for black gay men to attend these universities. The goal will be to create relationships with local HBCU’s and collaborate with these institutions to create policies and safe spaces (LGBT centers, Gay Student Alliances etc.). Our hope is to expand enrollment by encouraging and funding more black gay male students to attend HBCUs. BGWF will aid in the effort to increase enrollment numbers at these universities while decreasing the loan indebtedness of students by providing funds that are not required to be paid back. *The Wanda Alston House is the first and only housing program in DC solely dedicated to offering a safe space to homeless LGBT youth from ages 16 to 24* Purchase your tickets today : http://blackgiftedwhole.org or https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2015-mandate-conference-tickets-18255998182
