Why give to Morehouse?
For over 150 years Morehouse College has created men that are courageous, bold and world leaders. This confidence in individual potential has been fulfilled anew with each graduating class. While also staying true to our mission to develop men with disciplined minds who will lead lives of leadership and service. Today, if you encounter a Morehouse Man, whether decades your junior or decades your senior, you will find a kindred brotherhood. We have all benefited from the transformative power of intellectual rigor and critical thinking. And we have all benefited from an environment that celebrates a rich chorus of diverse voices. In return, we are asked to opt for the challenging problem rather than the easy solution; to embrace the promise of change rather than settle for the comfort of the status quo. We are asked to demonstrate the same confidence in the future that a small group of idealists did 150 years ago. This is our time. This is our commitment. This is our chance to fulfill the promise of this treasured place and to renew our promise to those who will follow us. Giving helps move in that direction and helps us achieve the following.
