The UNCF Motto
In 1972, the UNCF adopted, as its motto, the maxim, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." This maxim has become one of the most widely recognized slogans in advertising history. The motto, which has been used in numerous award-winning UNCF ad campaigns, was created by Forest Long, of the advertising agency Young & Rubicam.
A lesser-known slogan the UNCF uses, in reference to its intended beneficiaries, points out about them, " not asking for a handout—just a hand."
