From January 15, 2024 (in honor of MLK Jr. Day) through June 19, 2024 (in honor of Juneteenth), Uncle Nearest is partnering with bars, restaurants, retailers, e-Commerce partners, and our Uncle Nearest #WhiskeyFamily to raise up to $1.4 Million to provide one full tuition scholarship to every accredited Historically Black College & University (HBCU) Nationwide (in-state for those public).
HBCUs are exceptional institutions, but vastly underfunded. In spite of their chronic underfunding, HBCUs are a significant driver of degree attainment and economic mobility, especially for students from low-income families. HBCUs have a proven record of removing barriers to degree completion and postgraduate success, with their graduates making up 50% of Black doctors and Black attorneys, 40% of Black engineers and Black members of Congress and 80% of Black judges.
The donation will be divided between each of the accredited schools, providing one full in-state tuition scholarship for every Historically Black College and University in the United States.

For every photo submission, Uncle Nearest will donate $1 towards HBCUs! You can post a photo of an Uncle Nearest Old Fashioned from participating bars & restaurants or you can create your own Uncle Nearest Old Fashioned at home.
