About the Foundation

About Us  /  About the Foundation
Benefiting, supporting, and enhancing the California Community Colleges.

Charting a course forward.

Our actions create a ripple effect. When we help foster youth or nursing students stay in school, when we develop new software or purchasing solutions that save time and money for our colleges, when we speak out about the financial needs of our students and the value of a Community College education, we are creating a current of hope—and building momentum for change. In our unique role working with the entire California Community College system, we are making a positive impact that resonates statewide.

As we near the midpoint of our second decade, we are focused on providing centralized support and enhancing our ability to respond quickly to the needs of the system.

Our Strategic Goals

The Foundation’s mission is to benefit, support, and enhance the mission of the California Community College system, the largest higher education system in the nation.

Our alignment with the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office and the Board of Governors allows us to support students, colleges, college foundations, and the entire system, helping to improve higher education opportunities throughout the state.
