Livingstone College an HBCU in Salisbury, NC, has recently received an additional $1.2 million in grants and donations from various sources, fortifying its commitment to enhancing student services and campus facilities.

The College received a significant anonymous $8 million donation last month and has since secured various grants and donations to bolster its infrastructure and capital investments. President Dr. Anthony J. Davis expressed gratitude, stating, “If Livingstone College can be better, then better we will be.”

Notably, the National Science Foundation awarded the College a $448,000 grant to support the STEM Innovation Ecosystem, benefiting students pursuing STEM-related programs. Additionally, Livingstone received a $300,000 grant from the Cannon Foundation, Inc. for campus infrastructure improvements and a $200,000 grant from the Annie E. Casey Foundation for the HOPE Emancipation Project, supporting students who have aged out of foster care.

The HBCU also received a $120,000 donation from Greg Alcorn, founder of Global Contact Services (GCS) and ApSeed, and a $109,000 grant from the Darelle Revis Foundation for the football program, led by former NFL player Sean Gilbert.

Furthermore, Livingstone’s recruitment cycle has surged by 90% in just 1 ½ years, largely attributed to the instrumental efforts of Vice President of Enrollment Management, Mr. Anthony Brooks.
