The Forty Under 40 Society represents a powerful network of leaders who are shaping industries, communities, and the future of Hampton University. Through micro-sponsorships, we’re creating an accessible way for our extended Hampton family—friends, classmates, mentors, and supporters—to be part of this impact.

Our collective goal is to raise $10,000, with a portion of proceeds directly supporting Hampton’s Student Emergency Fund providing critical micro-grants to students facing unexpected financial hardships that could otherwise interrupt their ability to stay enrolled. With a quick turnaround and fueled by alumni support, this fund steps in at pivotal moments—closing the gap when it matters most.

Every contribution, no matter the size, fuels scholarships, programming, and the continued elevation of excellence rooted in Hampton’s legacy.
