Foundation for California Community Colleges

Overview

The Foundation for California Community Colleges (FoundationCCC) is a nonprofit organization established in 1998 to support California's Community College system, which serves nearly 2 million students across 73 districts and 116 campuses. Its mission focuses on enhancing access to affordable education and training, particularly for underserved groups, including first-generation students and low-income families. FoundationCCC aims to reduce barriers to opportunity and accelerate economic and social mobility for students and communities.

Operating over 50 innovative programs across six priority areas, FoundationCCC collaborates with the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office to improve completion and transfer rates and connects students to work-based learning opportunities. The organization provides resources to address basic needs, promotes sustainability initiatives, and leverages partnerships with philanthropy, corporations, and government to double its impact and support the broader Vision for Success—aimed at increasing credential awards and reducing achievement gaps in California.
