As part of Crown Castle’s Connected by Good Program, the company announced a $2 million combined donation to the United Negro College Fund. This gift will fund scholarships for students attending UNCF’s 37 member historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and more than 1,100 other colleges and universities across the United States. "…The leadership demonstrated by Jay Brown, to personally match his company’s donation, is outstanding," said Dr. Michael L. Lomax, UNCF’s president and CEO. "This is what it takes to realize the vision of a nation where all Americans have equal access to a college education"
