Bison Built. Legacy Driven.

Howard shaped us into changemakers, leaders, and trailblazers. Now, it’s our turn to ensure that legacy lives on.

The Class of 2005 is proud to launch our Endowment Fund—a permanent gift to the University and to the students who will walk in our footsteps. This endowment honors our journey, celebrates our impact, and empowers future generations of Bison.

Every Gift, Every Giver, Every Legacy Counts

Whether you're making a one-time gift or a monthly commitment, there's a giving level that allows you to leave your mark on Howard’s future. Each contribution—large or small—moves us closer to establishing our Class of 2005 Student Scholarship Endowment and ensures lasting support for future Bison.

As a thank you, we’ve created a series of recognition levels to celebrate your generosity. Donors will be acknowledged in a variety of ways throughout the year, including special communications, exclusive events, and commemorative keepsakes.

Recognition is based on your total commitment made by Homecoming 2025—whether through a single donation, a multi-year pledge, or participation in corporate matching or monthly giving.

No matter how you choose to give, your support cements our class’s legacy and helps lift the next generation of leaders.
