Macy’s celebrates creators/Students at Historically Black colleges and Universities who are making great influences

Since 2021, retail giant Macy’s has donated over $600,000 to the UNCF, benefiting over 100 students. Some HBCU’s alumnus have gone on to work for Macy as buyers, merchandisers and International wholesale.

And have shared some very appreciative stories on how Macy’s jump started their careers and their life. These students and creators are building legacies and influencing culture and style.

Every store purchase made, or online donation goes directly to Macy’s charity partner UNCF (United Negro College Funds).

And you will be helping creators and students alike get in the business with Macy’s corporation. Whether it as an employee or merchant, Macy’s is there for the cause.
