Whitfield & Crane Donates $12.5M to 7 HBCUs, Nonprofits Using Statutory Fees From Maryland-HBCU Settlement
This story from Diverse Issues in Higher Education discusses Whitfield's $12.5 million donation to seven historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), nonprofits and community organizations with missions to advance racial justice, equity and civil rights. Funding for the donation stemmed from statutory fees awarded to Whitfield by the state of Maryland following a 15-year case between the state and a coalition of students, faculty and alumni at Maryland's four public HBCUs.
