Thurgood Marshall College Fund, Inc.

The Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) is the largest organization in the United States exclusively representing the Black college community. Established in 1987, its core mission is to ensure student success by promoting educational excellence and preparing the next generation of workforce talent through leadership development. TMCF's headquarters are located in Washington, D.C..

TMCF provides a wide array of services and programs, including merit- and need-based scholarships, programmatic support, capacity building, and research initiatives for its member schools. It offers leadership development, internships, career resources, and talent discovery programs, connecting students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs), and Historically Black Community Colleges (HBCCs) with employers. The organization also engages in advocacy to support its member institutions and advance educational and economic equity.

Dr. Harry L. Williams serves as the President & CEO, with Racquel Oden as the Chair of the Board. In recent news, TMCF received a $25 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. in January 2025 to enhance capacity at HBCUs. In March 2026, its annual Presidents & Chancellors Fly-In facilitated connections between member institutions and government officials, leading to the introduction of a bipartisan bill aimed at streamlining federal funding for HBCUs. The organization also reported a strong financial position for fiscal year 2024, with total assets exceeding $143 million and operating revenue of $93.8 million.
