The Foundation for California Community Colleges is the official nonprofit partner to the California Community Colleges, the largest and most diverse system of higher education in the nation. Our work reaches all 116 California Community Colleges across 73 districts and is designed to help improve the student experience and expand pathways to economic and social mobility across California. More specifically, we exist to benefit:

• Students: We believe in ensuring students from all backgrounds succeed in reaching their goals and improving their lives and their communities; 
• Community Colleges: We believe in lifting up the California Community College system as the greatest gateway to a better future; and
• Communities: We believe in the power of community colleges to help their communities thrive.

Our projects and services seek to be at the forefront of innovation and excellence in higher education across five areas of impact: student success, workforce development, equity, community impact, and system support. To date, we’ve delivered hundreds of millions in grants, support, and cost savings to colleges and students to make this possible, with 85 cents of every dollar raised directly allocated to programs and services. We’re proud of our role in helping Californians build a better future for themselves and their families, but we know there’s more to be done. Join us.
