Organization description:
The Foundation for California Community Colleges is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides fiscal sponsorship services for community college districts and government, as well as independent education programs. Educational programs have the advantage of the Foundation’s close relationship with the community college system, while state agencies have the convenience of entering easily into contracts with the Foundation because of its unique status as the official foundation for the California Community College Chancellor’s Office. Currently, the Foundation manages more than $2.9 million in pledged funds, and considers new projects that are in alignment with its mission.
