Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Scholarships, Scholarships & Student Financial Aid, Two-Year Colleges
Mission: To develop resources and relationships that provide financial support to contra costa college students through student scholarships, student programs and services, instructional supplies, and facility improvements.
Programs: Contra costa college foundation (cccf) has been working since 1967 to increase financial support for our students. The foundation's primary unrestricted fund, the wrap-around fund supports student success and real student needs. Gifts made to this fund will help with student retention and needs such as mentoring, clinical services or tutoring, books, rent, transportation or childcare. The most prominent needs of ccc students include homelessness, hunger, transportation, childcare and inability to purchase textbooks. Students apply for these funds through an emergency fund application, and are required to be enrolled at ccc (a minimum of six units), be in good standing (non-probationary student), and to write a brief narrative about their reason for applying (what needs are unmet). Support with tuition. More than $90,000 was available via scholarships exclusively for contra costa college students for our last academic year, and we plan to increase that amount this year. Financial scholarships allow students to concentrate on college studies and participate in extracurricular campus activities, creating a well-rounded and successful graduate.
