Tackle Community Priorities

Annual Support

Join VCCF to build community. Working together is a choice to nurture hope in uncertain times.

Annual contributions to the Associates result in a double investment. Half of all unrestricted gifts go toward the Foundation’s annual operating budget supporting staff, programs and facilities. The other half is invested in the administrative endowment, to sustain our work in future years.

VCCF has been a catalyst for leadership development among our County’s many nonprofits, providing training to enable each to reach their respective goals. Today much of this important work is conducted through the Resource Center for Nonprofit Management.

Annual Gifts of $1,000 or more include membership in VCCF’s Century Circle Gifts can be made to VCCF in your name, in memory of someone close to you, to honor a family occasion or to support a favorite cause.

We invite you to join VCCF as an Associate and provide annual support to sustain our programs.

Ventura County is growing and changing, and VCCF is adjusting to meet those needs and expand its support and its donors and programs through:

  • Staff to accommodate a four-fold increase in scholarship budgets.
  • Dedicated donor relations and finance staff to process over 2,500 gifts annually.
  • Responding to county priorities like the Mental Health Initiative, the Latino Literacy Initiative and expanding the Community Response Fund and grantmaking.
  • Expanding the website to be more informative and useful.
  • Developing outreach to new donors, and addressing new community priorities - like nursing and the importance of the arts.
  • Sustaining ongoing efforts to expand the work of Destino, Women’s Legacy Fund, Heritage Fund and other VCCF programs.
  • Expanding dialogue between funders, donors and nonprofits.
  • Expanding donor advised funds to serve the needs of local nonprofits.
  • Building community leadership through initiatives like the Ventura County Civic Alliance.
