KR Scholars
KR Scholars is a nonprofit organization based in Richmond, Virginia, founded in 2020 to support Historically Black College and University students through scholarships and comprehensive programming. Beyond financial assistance, the organization provides college readiness, financial literacy, workforce development, and mentorship through initiatives such as the HBCU Bridge Program. With a mission to empower student success beyond graduation, KR Scholars invests in both access and long-term achievement for current and future HBCU scholars.
To prepare for Giving Tuesday, KR Scholars sought a cohesive campaign that would elevate scholar voices, strengthen brand identity, and inspire donor action during one of the most competitive philanthropic seasons. The design team conducted a full audit and developed a structured four-week social media strategy built around storytelling, measurable impact, and clear calls to action. The campaign emphasized scholar testimonials, HBCU pride and legacy, mentorship impact, partnership recognition, and transparent giving tiers to help donors understand exactly how their contributions support students.
