Overview
The Historic Fund is a venture capital fund of funds established to invest capital on behalf of the endowments of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). It was created to address the significant funding disparities faced by HBCUs, which were founded during periods of slavery and segregation. The fund aims to enhance the financial resources available to these institutions, thereby supporting their educational missions and providing financial stability.
The Historic Fund focuses on investing in venture capital funds, allowing selected HBCUs to become limited partners without needing to invest their own assets. The fund provides both Limited Partner interests in venture funds and cash grants to facilitate these investments. The initiative seeks to generate meaningful returns for HBCUs, thereby helping to close the endowment gap between HBCUs and predominantly white institutions.
