Philanthropy in Action

Since their inception more than half a century ago, Virginia’s Community Colleges have helped hundreds of thousands of Virginians develop the skills they need to lead more fulfilling and productive lives. In the process, scores of communities have been strengthened and become more attractive to business.

 

With technology impacting today’s workforce like never before, the role of community colleges is even more important. Setting the stage for a more prosperous tomorrow by delivering the education necessary to achieve greatness today is what we do, and your help is essential.

 

Success is never achieved alone. A major factor in student achievement in Virginia’s community colleges is the voluntary support of donors who understand the reach and the lasting impact of their investment in education.

 

Your support makes a difference in students’ lives today, and that difference can be measured across the Commonwealth for years to come.

How Your Contribution Benefits Students

You can give a gift to the VFCCE that supports:

 

Student Success Fund

The Student Success Fund provides essential support services that help students master the skills necessary for acquiring and keeping a good job, such as resume writing, interviewing, financial literacy, continuing education, and specialized training.

 

Program Accelerator Fund

The Program Accelerator Fund provides start-up funds within Virginia’s community colleges for the development and deployment of new workforce readiness programs, associate degree programs, and upgrades for existing programs for high-need jobs.

 

Foundation Endowment

The VFCCE works with donors to establish dedicated funds in support of community college programs that align with individual philanthropic priorities. Named gift opportunities or endowment funds are established on behalf of the VFCCE, allowing the earnings to serve those priorities in perpetuity.
