HBCU Money’s 2014 Top 10 HBCU Endowments

[Tiger1]

The keyword for 2014’s HBCU endowments – disappointing. In the past twelve months, HBCU’s top ten endowments added $200 million to its coffers. So why is this disappointing? The S&P 500 over the past year had returns of 13.4 percent. The benchmark by which we measure endowment return success. Given many of the tax and capital advantages that college and university endowments have it takes quite a bit of effort to underperform the market. This year only six out of ten HBCU endowments outperformed the market, while HWCU counterparts clocked in at nine out of ten. This has allowed the institutional wealth gap between top 10 HWCU/HBCU endowments to balloon from 103:1 to 106:1 the past twelve months.

As always if you do not see your HBCU in the top 10 – DONATE!

Good to see my Texas Southern representing the SWAC. Our goal is at least 100 million:tup:

Why is Jsu not on here? $49,000,000 is worth this list. USM has $65,000,000 so JSU is not doing bad for an HBCU in MiSSiSSiPPi !!

I get really sick of people who do reports on comparison among HBCU's rarely have accurate and up to date information!!!
