Our partners stepped up to the plate with us to help raise money for our HBCUs, and awarding scholarships to

some of our nation’s top students. As part of the fifth annual Allstate Quotes for Education Program raised

$185,000, exceeding the originally set goal of $150,000. Allstate made an additional $50,000 donation to Gram-

bling State University whose students, alumni and supporters voted for Grambling as part of the second annual,

“Show your School Pride” campaign.

We partnered with Denny’s for the Tom Joyner Foundation Hungry for Education program, where students at 10

participating colleges were awarded over $50,000 in scholarships and special incentives were awarded to high

school and college students for their innovative ideas on how to end childhood hunger. The Foundation awarded

Balancing New Technology

On behalf of the Staff and Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the 2013 - 2014 annual

financial report. The report provides a comprehensive picture of the Tom Joyner Foundation’s

finances for the 2013-14 fiscal year and a snapshot of important issues concerning our future.

I am so proud to say that the Tom Joyner Foundation has remained steadfast to its longstand-

ing commitment to making sure that student scholars at Historically Black Colleges and Uni-

versities attain their college degrees. We continued our work with my beloved HBCUs to cele-

brate their accomplishments and contributions in producing the nation’s next generation of

leaders.

As the cost of living and cost of a college education rise, I know how hard it is to afford a

college education, and even after you get into a college, how hard it is to stay there. We

know HBCU students – and their parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles – are working

overtime to invest in their childrens’, grandsons’, nieces’ and nephews’ education.

In 2013 the Tom Joyner Foundation proudly stood beside these students, their families and

the numerous faculty, administrators and staff who work tirelessly to uphold the legacy, tra-

dition and excellence at HBCUs around the country.

The Tom Joyner Foundation Gets Social

Integrat ing Soc ia l Media & Fundrais ing

Essential ly, using social media as a form of fundraising

al lows us to reach a generation of donors we may not

have otherwise met

” 2013 was a year of growth for The Tom Joyner Foundation. We created a social media strategy that aimed to target younger donors and join them together with our established donor base. We developed strategies for each of our social networks to inform & unify, HBCU supporters with the ultimate goal of drawing traffic to TomJoynerFoundation.org. As with anything you build, it took time and nurturing. Because of our daily efforts in social media, our website has seen a 300% growth rate. This tells us, that our message is being widely spread & received. We have used our social media platforms interchangeably to promote the HBCUS we support, HBCU news, events, scholarship recipients, our yearly campaigns as well as our monthly school of the month campaign. We look forward to 2014 as another year of growth, learning and connecting with you. The strategies we ‘ve implemented through social have allowed us to raise funds and network with a younger generation of HBCU supporters. Essentially, using social media as a form of fundraising allows us to reach a generation of donors we may not have otherwise met.

“Show Your School Pride”

Grateful & inspired are two words which

come to mind when I received the Hercules

Scholarship. I was grateful for the much

needed financial help and I was inspired to

heroically pursue my dreams

” - Dorian Francois

The Hercules Scholarship, formerly the “Brotha’s On The Move” Scholarship is

named after Tom Joyner’s late father Hercules L. Joyner. This scholarship embod-

ies & celebrates successful male students attending HBCU’s. Students selected for

this scholarship must be male, attend a Foundation “School of the month” have a

grade point average of at least 3.5, and be a campus leader involved in the commu-

nity with a career goal toward making a difference in the quality of life for his race.

The scholars each receive a scholarship grant of $1,500 that is paid directly to their

school to help off-set their college expenses and are announced each week on the

nationally syndicated radio show hosted by its founder Tom Joyner.

“Not only did it feel great to receive additional money to lower the cost of my educational expenses but the feeling of knowing that my positive accomplishments were having an impact on those around me felt absolutely great.”

Pierre Moore - Grambling State University

“ Once you’ve understood that God has perfect timing all you have to worry about is how hard you are working on your end. “

Emole Dimgba - Dillard University

back. “

Keith Chandler—Fisk University

“ I felt really great and very much humbled & appreciative of the honor. The best part was getting to thank Mr. Joyner himself at my graduation & he seemed surprised by my hugging him to thank him as I was a recipient of his kindness.”

(Tom Joyner Speaking At Fisk University’s 2013 Commencement )

Jordyn Glover - Alcorn State University

“As a recipient I feel honored to let you guys know that I have completed fall semester at Alcorn State University with A’s and will be acknowledged as a Presidential Scholar in the Spring of 2014. I have been sharing my testimony for a week or so and I am very
