Mission

THE VIRGINIA FOUNDATION FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE EDUCATION (VFCCE) MISSION IS BUILDING STUDENT SUCCESS AND THE COMMONWEALTH'S FUTURE BY SUPPORTING VIRGINIA'S COMMUNITY COLLEGES. VFCCE PROVIDES STATEWIDE LEADERSHIP IN RAISING FUNDS FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS, SUPPLEMENTING THE ACTIVITIES OF THE 23 COLLEGES AND SECURING SUPPORT FOR SYSTEM-WIDE INITIATIVES THAT COULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN BY ANY SINGLE COLLEGE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO EDUCATION & ENSURE SUCCESS FOR ALL STUDENTS, REGARDLESS OF BACKGROUND.

  • SCHOLARSHIPS SINCE 2006, THE FOUNDATION HAS SUPPORTED HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS ACROSS VIRGINIA'S 23 COMMUNITY COLLEGES THROUGH ITS SCHOLARSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIPS PROGRAM. THANKS TO OUR GENEROUS PARTNERS, THE VFCCE HAS AWARDED MORE THAN $7 MILLION IN SCHOLARSHIPS, HELPING STUDENTS SUCCEED AND REACH THEIR EDUCATIONAL GOALS. FOR THE 2024 -25 ACADEMIC YEAR, 110 SCHOLARSHIPS WERE AWARDED, TOTALING $511,250. THE PRESTIGIOUS FELLOWS PROGRAM AWARDS HIGH-ACHIEVING SECOND-YEAR STUDENTS WITH FULL SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT TO COMPLETE ASSOCIATE DEGREES AND DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS THROUGH A COHORT MODEL. SINCE ITS LAUNCH IN 2011, THE FELLOWS PROGRAM HAS SUPPORTED 348 STUDENTS THROUGH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, MENTORING, AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING.COLLEGE ATTAINMENT FOR PARENT STUDENTS (CAPS)THE VIRGINIA FOUNDATION FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE EDUCATION (VFCCE) LAUNCHED A CRITICAL INITIATIVE IN 2023 TO SUPPORT SINGLE PARENTS FROM LOW-INCOME BACKGROUNDS AS THEY PURSUE COLLEGE. THE COLLEGE ATTAINMENT FOR PARENT STUDENTS (CAPS) PROGRAM ADVANCES A TWO-GENERATION, ANTI-POVERTY SOLUTION THAT INCREASES EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME OPPORTUNITIES BY PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE COACHING SERVICES AND TARGETED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE PILOT PROGRAM SERVED 100 PARENT STUDENTS ACROSS FIVE COLLEGES PROVIDING DIRECT STUDENT SUPPORT THROUGH A COHORT MODEL AND HELPED TO IDENTIFY STRUCTURAL CHALLENGES THAT ARE HINDERING PARENT-STUDENT SUCCESS. CAPS WILL BE RELAUNCHED IN FALL 2025 TO ENGAGE MORE COLLEGES AND SUPPORT MORE PARENT STUDENTS STATEWIDE.SINCE MAY 2025, THE CAPS PROGRAM HAS SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITIONED FROM ITS PILOT PHASE INTO A ROBUST STATEWIDE EXPANSION ACROSS THE VIRGINIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM. THE VISION FOR THIS EXPANSION IS TO GROW FROM AN INITIAL FIVE-COLLEGE PILOT SERVING 189 STUDENTS TO SUPPORTING UP TO 1,500 STUDENTS OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS, WHILE CONTINUING TO DRIVE INCREASED GRADUATION AND RETENTION RATES. BY DEVELOPING AN INTEGRAL PROGRAM TOOL KIT AND GATHERING CRITICAL STUDENT DEMOGRAPHIC DATA, THE PROGRAM ESTABLISHED A DATA-DRIVEN INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT ONBOARDING COLLEGES. THIS EXPANSION WAS FURTHER STRENGTHENED BY OBTAINING ADDITIONAL FUNDING, ESTABLISHING A TIERED ALLOCATION MODEL BASED ON ENROLLMENT SIZE, AND CREATING STANDARDIZED GUIDELINES TO ENSURE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION. TO MAINTAIN HIGH-QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION, THE PROGRAM ALLOCATED RESOURCES TO THE ORIGINAL PILOT COLLEGES TO PROVIDE MENTORING AND LEADERSHIP THROUGH A NEWLY ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE FOR COACHES. CURRENTLY OPERATIONAL IN 21 OUT OF 23 COMMUNITY COLLEGES, CAPS HAS SEEN AN INCREASE OF ABOUT 700 ENROLLED PARENT STUDENTS. THE INITIATIVE CONTINUES TO ALIGN WITH STATEWIDE GOALS BY HOSTING COLLABORATIVE MEETINGS AND IMPACT SESSIONS. THESE SESSIONS FEATURE FORMER RECIPIENTS WHO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES, HIGHLIGHTING HOW COACHING AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT HAVE POSITIVELY TRANSFORMED THE ACADEMIC CAREERS OF STUDENT PARENTS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
