Words can’t express our thanks for your foresight in addressing a special need in our community, and working hard to bring it to fruition. We are grateful for the founding of the Howard County Foundation for Black Educational and Cultural Achievement, Inc.

he Howard County Foundation for Black Educational and Cultural Achievement, Inc. is a community-based non-profit organization which has served as a resource for the encouragement and T financial assistance to African-American youth in Howard County, Maryland for more than three decades. The primary focus of this organization is to provide scholarships to graduating, high school seniors in their pursuit of post-secondary education and training. The outgrowth of a grassroots effort by sixteen concerned African-American parents who met initially on September 16, 1977 to contemplate ways in which to maximize the achievement efforts of black students in the county, this organization has evolved to its current status. These sixteen parents, along with two others who joined the group shortly after its inception, operated under the name of Concerned Parents for Educational Excellence (CPEE). They tackled the job of advocating for their children forthright. Overcoming many obstacles, such as the lack of operating funds, apathy, and differences of opinion as to their direction—they persevered.

Within the first couple of years following their initial meeting, this small group of determined parents sought 501©3 status from the Internal Revenue Service, investigated and accessed funding from a number of sources, established scholarship criteria (based upon scholastic achievement, extra-curricular activities and community involvement of the applicant) and changed their name, thus the establishment of “The Howard County Foundation for Black Educational and Cultural Achievement, Inc.” (hereinafter referred to as “The Foundation”). The first group of students was awarded scholarships by The Foundation in 1979— a crowning achievement! Each year since that time, with the exception of 1985 and 1986, when the organization took a hiatus, The Foundation has awarded college scholarships to qualified African-American high school graduates of Howard County.

Since its inception, the chief source of funding for The Foundation’s scholarships has been the African- American community, in keeping with its original ideal as a self-help, grassroots organization. Solicitations were made from black families, individuals, businesses and other community organizations. A unique strategy was utilized in which a donor could become a Foundation “member” for the amount of $52 (based on the concept of $1 per week, per year). As the organization has evolved, the donor base has broadened considerably. At this point, funding is received from a variety of sources, including businesses, fraternities, sororities, churches and other organizations, both for profit and non-profit.

For many years, the sum of $1,000 represented the basic scholarship award. Quite often a lottery drawing was utilized, thus embracing the element of fairness. Some years, the funding has been large enough to underwrite an award for each applicant, making the lottery unnecessary. In recent years, a book award has been instituted. This is given to each qualified applicant who does not receive a scholarship. In 2007, the amount of the basic scholarship award was increased to $1,500.

Whereas the scholarship program has been the principal activity of The Foundation, other areas have also been explored. Many of the alternative events have included a cultural aspect and also served as fundraisers. This category includes sponsoring trips to Broadway shows in New York, Book Fairs, a performance at Toby’s Dinner Theatre, to name a few. Other significant activities are the college tours offered to students, most notably, the trips to Washington, Oberlin and Vanderbilt Universities for the period 1995-2002. (These trips were sponsored in conjunction with and were funded by Washington University). In addition, tours of black colleges were implemented by The Foundation in 1997, utilizing funds from a grant provided by Associated Black Charities (ABC).

Special awards were established over the years in memory of individuals having a legacy of service to the community. The following Special Awards are listed below, with date of initiation.

Delores P. Harper (1979): Community activist and early Foundation supporter, along with husband, Robert, who funded the Award for many years.

Dr. James F. Cooper (1983): Founding member and early supporter of Foundation; Practicing Psychiatrist. Award has been funded by wife Jean, daughter and son-in-law for many years.

Gilda W. Lewis (1987): Founding member of the Foundation. Past President of Columbia Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, who designated scholarship in her name. The Sorority has funded the award at $1,000 or more per year for thirty-one years.

Since its inception, The Foundation has employed various fundraising strategies. In addition, the donor base has been broadened to include a variety of organizations from the larger community who have given assistance. The following entries will attest to the success of these endeavors.

Adopt-a-Student Program (1989): Student may be “adopted” in honor or memory of loved one. Minimum contribution is $500. Has been very popular (see chart elsewhere in this program).

Hammond High School Black Cultural Awareness Club (1989): Held fundraiser for The Foundation. Similar clubs from other high schools participated.

Rotary Club, Columbia Town Center (1990): The Foundation received donation for the first time.

Columbia Foundation (1990): Since that time, has provided annual operating grants to The Foundation.

Columbia Foundation (1999): Selected The Foundation to be the recipient of matching Endowment Funds for three consecutive years. The maximum matching grant of $5,000 was exceeded each year.

Howard County Volunteer Community Organization of the Year (2001): Named by County Executive and County Council—expression of appreciation for The Foundation’s work with youth.

Casey Willis Making a Difference Award (2002): Foundation was recipient of community service award in spirit of award’s namesake, Carolyn “Casey” Willis, wife of Dr. Willis. This award included a $1,500 cash prize.

Twenty-fifth Anniversary (1977-2002): Celebrated in October, 2002, with banquet at Columbia Sheraton Hotel. Proceeds benefitted scholarship fund. Net profit from ads in souvenir journal: $2,769.

Mano Swartz Furrier (2003 & 2004): Donated items of fur to be raffled off. Net profit to Foundation first year: $1,800; second year: $300.

Charles Brown Adopt-a-Student (2006): Gave $5,000 in memory of his wife, Shirley Vining-Brown, Founder of “One Generation Helping the Next” Youth Enrichment Program, Inc. Award was largest single donation in Foundation’s history. Donation was awarded to a needy student.

Rotary Club of Columbia – Patuxent (2000): Special thanks go to the club for significant contributions made to the Foundation from 2000 – 2015.

The Howard County Foundation for Black Educational and Cultural Achievement, Inc. is immensely proud of the young people whom we have assisted in their pursuit of higher education. We also owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the generosity of the individuals, families and various organizations who have contributed to our efforts. By pooling our resources, we hope to continue to generate more “Dollars for Scholars” for future generations of young people.

June 30, 2020

Greetings: It is truly a privilege to bring warm greetings as President of the Howard County Foundation for Black Educational and Cultural Achievement, Inc. on our 40th Anniversary of awarding scholarships to Howard County African American graduating high school students. The Foundation is proud to have been providing scholarship and book award support to the Howard County community for so many years. As a 501(c)3 organization, our volunteer Board of directors is dedicated to raising money for scholar ships. Founded by a group of concerned parents which included my aunt and uncle, the Foundation has shown consistency throughout its existence by maintaining its original purpose and mission to support our youth. Since its inception, we have awarded more than $900,000 to more than 850 students in scholarships and book awards. On behalf of the Foundation, we are especially appreciative of our “village” of contributors and donors that have allowed us to continue during this historic pandemic. In spite of relying on Zoom for our 2020 Awards Program, the Foundation could not be more proud of this year’s scholarship winners and their achievements. We are happy to enrich our community by supporting black students as they pursue post-secondary education through our “Dollars for Scholars” program, cultural programs, scholarships, and book awards over the past 40 years.

Celebrating 40 Years of Awarding Scholarships

June 30, 2020

Greetings:

Welcome to the Howard County Foundation for Black Educational and Cultural Achievement, Inc’s. (HCFBECA) , Inc annual Scholarship Awards Program. Today we are commemorating 40 years of awarding scholarships to graduating seniors residing in Howard County. It is with great pride that since its humble beginnings in 1977, HCFBECA, Inc. has been able to provide over $900,000 in scholarships and book awards to 832 African-American students in their pursuit of higher education.

We owe our success to you, our contributors and supporters. Without you, this milestone would not be possible. Please accept our heartfelt appreciation for your consistent generosity over the years. May you, too, share our pride and joy in this significant accomplishment of 40 years of financially assisting students in their pursuit of post-secondary education.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, today’s program is on ZOOM. This virtual platform replaces the special program that had been planned to showcase the past four decades of our history. Because of Coronavirus, the special celebratory events had to be put on hold until next year, 2021, when hopefully, in-person gatherings should return. As in past years, the awarding of scholarships is the highlight of today’s virtual program, marking the culmination of our 2020 fundraising effort.

HCFBECA, Inc. would like to thank you for your ongoing support and invite you to attend the 41st Anniversary Program next year. Remember we are a 50l(c)(3) non-profit organization; one hundred percent (100%) of contributions go to our scholarships. Please note all monies received before the close of our fiscal year, June 30, 2020 will be added to the amounts received to date for the 2020 scholarships and book awards.

Sincerely, Sincerely,

Dorothea Baity Darrah F. Hall

Carnell Williams Host – Video Conferencing

INTRODUCTION

Normally, this program would be held in a local venue here in Howard County. However, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and in compliance with CDC and STATE OF MARYLAND orders and guide- lines, the program today is being conducted via VIDEO Conferencing. Since this is a video conference, we ask that you please adhere to the following: • Ensure that you are in a quiet place • If you are not speaking, put your microphone on mute. • Distractions that become detrimental to this program may result in participant’s removal. We have with us today 27 of the brightest minds in Howard County. This is because of the generosity of our community that this Foundation is able to recognize these students and provide scholarships and book awards to support their academic goals. This is also the Foundation’s 40th year of celebrating our OUR students. Over that time, you the community have helped us support over 800 students with more than $887 in scholarships and book awards. Finally, we hope that you will join us in future campaigns to support our students.

Once it has been determined that an applicant meets the scholarship criteria, he or she becomes certified and eligible for the lottery. The Foundation believes the lottery system is an equitable method of dispensing scholarships. Students who receive full scholarships from another source are not eligible to receive a scholarship from the Foundation.

Students are listed alphabetically and the number preceding their name is their lottery number. Numbers are drawn until the funds are exhausted. The student, or an adult designee, must be present to win. Alternates are selected to take the place of those who may be unable to accept their award.
