Impact Lives Through Education
Established in 1983, the Foundation is one of the most successful community college foundations in California, having raised over $48 million dollars for Ventura College and its students.
Through this support, the Ventura College Foundation transforms students' lives through education by providing innovative and vital resources and financial support. The Foundation collaborates with Ventura College to enhance human potential, civic engagement, careers, and academic success of students enabling their effective impact and legacy on the college, local workforce, and our community.
The Foundation is seeking individuals, corporations, and foundations who wish to invest in education. By improving education, together we can enhance the quality of life and commerce in our county.
Your gift has an incredible impact!
There are a wide variety of ways to give to Ventura College – and an equal array of opportunities to be honored and celebrated for your generous gifts.
Fund
for VC
Support of the Fund for Ventura College provides current resources to enable the Foundation to accomplish its goals and expand its services to students and programs.
Presidents Circle
The President’s Circle offers an opportunity to join a select group of prominent alumni and friends whose annual support of $1,000 or more makes a crucial difference to our students.
VC
Promise
Ventura College Promise aims to reduce obstacles for incoming first-year, first-time, full-time students by covering the cost of the per unit Enrollment Fee, Health Fee, Student Center Fee, and Student Representative Fee for students who meet certain eligibility requirements.

The center provides a wide range of programs, services, and resources that assist VC students in meeting their basic needs and promoting their academic success.
Scholarship Support
The Ventura College Foundation was initially established for the purpose of raising funds for student scholarships. While our focus has expanded over the years, we continue to support our students through our scholarship program.

The library and the Foundation are always looking for partners to provide continued support to ensure students always have access to textbooks and supplies for school.
Monthly Giving. Enduring Impact.
