When a student faces an unexpected crisis—a housing emergency, broken laptop, or an inability to afford textbooks—the path to graduation can suddenly seem insurmountable. For thousands of students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), FanDuel’s partnership with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) has become a lifeline in these critical moments. What began as a $1 million commitment in 2021 has evolved into a $4.2 million investment in the futures of HBCU students. This year, FanDuel received the 2026 UNCF Corporate Keeper of the Flame Award, an honor that reflects the company’s growing role as a leading corporate partner in educational equity.
