Support the efforts of The Benjamin Hooks Institute

While our site is still under construction, it is no secret that we still need your support to continue to build this Institute and to sustain its programs. In order to sustain and expand our efforts, we are actively pursuing a number of funding opportunities, including grants to support specific projects, as well as funding for a major endowment to create a lasting trust fund, and that will allow us to fund the Benjamin Hooks Chair and the Hooks Scholarships.

You can now make endowments online, by visiting: The Make A Gift Page. Simply fill out the form at the top of the page, then scroll down to the College of Arts and Sciences section and type Hooks Institute in the "Other Designation" box.

We invite you to join us in these efforts. Contributions – both large and small – are needed to sustain the Institute’s operations and programs and to help build the Institute’s endowment.

Please help us by sending your contribution to:

Department 238
The U of M Foundation
P.O. Box 1000
Memphis, TN 38148-0001

Make your check payable to "The University of Memphis Foundation" and note that it is for the Benjamin Hooks Institute.
