BHRP
The Bethune/Height Recognition Program
The Bethune/Height Recognition Program (BHRP) was founded in 1974 and has grown into a great national movement. It provides an opportunity for individuals to live the legacy of NCNW’s Founder, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, by contributing to the work for which she dedicated her life. Proceeds from the Program assist in sustaining the vital work of NCNW by broadening and strengthening the financial base to ensure NCNW’s ability to affect much needed change.
BHRP honors Bethune Achievers (persons who contribute $300.00 or more), Life Members, and Legacy Life Members who contribute, join or upgrade through the Program. During NCNW’s 75th Anniversary Convention, Dr. Barbara L. Shaw, National Chair, officially announced the renaming of the program to “Bethune/Height Recognition Program” in honor of Dr. Dorothy I. Height, NCNW Chair/President Emerita.
