HBCU Community Development Corporation

Cedric Grice

Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer

The HBCU Community Development Corporation (HBCUCDC) was founded January 2021. with the goal of enhancing the role that HBCUs play in addressing the economic disparity that exists between the black and majority communities within the United States. My passion is to provide HBCUs with the financial and technical assistance required to maintain and expand their efforts to address this economic disparity.

NOTHING IS MORE REWARDING THAN SOLVING DIFFICULT PROBLEMS FOR CLIENTS WITH MEANINGFUL MISSIONS.

As an economist, my work as a public servant, required me to develop solutions to problems that impeded the government entity from providing proper services to its citizens. These are the same skills that can provide HBCUs with the financial and technical assistance needed to sustain their position as an integral leader in the economic, social and cultural advancement of the black community.
