40% of the Charitable Contributions to our  Organization come from Bison who didn’t graduate “on time” or Bison who didn’t finish at all. This speaks volumes because it means we have a herd who is dedicated to making sure that this current Generation have a little more financial support. What we do only works because of community.

Last Bison Standing is not affiliated with Howard University or the Howard University Alumni Association in any way- the University does not control, operate, or endorse our organization.

DONOR/RECIPIENT PORTAL

During a recent audit, we discovered that we awarded more assistance to young ladies than gentlemen. We would like to change that going into 2023. In several offline discussions, we discovered that despite having a financial need males are least likely to reach out for support.

FINISH LINE FUNDRAISER

Donor Match is a program established by our Ambassador Class of 2018.  It is designed to help undergrads (typically seniors) pay toward their balance or living expenses. When an undergrad can’t afford to pay the full balance of their tuition or rent, we offer to do matches.

Donor Match isn’t the promise of 100% matching funds secured by the recipient.

Donor Match Program is an offer to share a story with our donor base in effort to garner financial support.

On one hand we have recipients that were able to secure 100% matches. On the other hand we have recipients that have only received 10% of a match. 

It’s important to note Tuition isn’t considered an Emergency Situation for our organization. We are a grassroots charity that specializes in providing emergency relief for both the undergrad and alumni community.

To be eligible for any match funds, the payment must be made directly to our organization.

Upon receipt we will begin the process to apply payment to the Student's account via EPAY.

ALL DOCUMENTATION MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO PAYMENT BEING ADMINISTERED.

In the past we would trust recipients to make payments to their accounts, but many wouldn’t keep their end of agreement.

In addition, submitting payments also allows for donors to receive tax benefits.
