Livingstone College, a private HBCU in Salisbury, North Carolina marks a significant milestone with its 7th $1-million contribution in just seven months, a testament to its rapid growth and development. The generous donor, who prefers to remain anonymous, has once again demonstrated their remarkable support for the college. These contributions represent the largest monetary donations from an individual donor in the school’s 145-year history.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the donor for their unwavering commitment to Livingstone College. Currently, the college is revitalizing two historic residence halls, Tucker and Dancy Hall, and rooms at the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management facility. Also, the college is renovating its dining facility, Aggrey Cafeteria.

The City of Salisbury is dedicated to acknowledging the economic opportunities that the HBCU affords by producing graduates who contribute to the community. For instance, Livingstone College has recently launched a biomanufacturing training program as part of the Biden Build Back Better Initiative, aiming to benefit underrepresented populations in North Carolina. Livingstone College received $1 million in laboratory equipment to execute this initiative.

This donation will continue to propel the college’s progress and growth by bolstering its infrastructure and funding future capital ventures.
