Black Alumni Association Support Fund

Your support of the Whittier College Black Alumni Association Support Fund is an excellent opportunity to join an affinity group that is making a difference in the lives of students. Your gift to the Black Alumni Association Support Fund goes towards need-based and merit scholarships, and cultural events. 

During this year's Big Poet Give, the first $5,000 directed to the Black Alumni Association Support Fund will be matched dollar-for- dollar thanks to the generosity of alumna leader Stephanie Wiggins '92.
