We are proud to continue our five-year
commitment to provide $1 million to non-

organizations slated to receive these funds,
we hope to improve equity and inclusion
for Black communities around the world
in several ways:
»
Supporting groups that advocate for social justice;

Our own employees - the members and leaders of the
Black Inclusion Group - are involved in the distribution of
these funds, making our commitment to improving social
justice, equity and opportunities for Black people all the
more personal.
The United Negro College Fund (UNCF) is one of the
organizations we support. In our efforts to make education
more accessible to underrepresented communities, we
work with UNCF to sponsor eight college students over
three years, helping more Black students obtain their
college degrees.

minority groups, see Communities.

"UNCF is grateful to have corporate partners like Moody's that
are helping us uplift Historically Black Colleges and Universities
and ensure that more young people of color can reach their fullest
potential... With such partnerships, we can work together to
realize UNCF's vision of a nation where all Americans have equal
access to a college education."
