The Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) and Savings Collaborative have launched the Financial Resilience Initiative — a national effort to strengthen how financial resilience is built across Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), from pre-collegiate preparation through college and into early alumni years.
The Initiative centers on students' real financial journeys — recognizing that progress during and after college is deeply shaped by family context and community systems. By extending support beyond the campus, the Initiative strengthens household stability and builds pathways to long-term economic security and generational wealth.
Our Money Matters report provides the foundation — turning insight into tangible programs, tools, and action. Through TMCF, the Initiative reaches a network of 55 HBCUs and over 300,000 students.
